see http://www.java.sun.com/features/1998/11/fishtank.html

about 60% into the above page we read:

"Even for a real-time system, it was better to let the system just garbage
collect when it needed to instead of trying to predict when you thought it
was a good time. The system just responded better that way." 

OK, so this is it. Java can also do realtime just fine, even with GC !

any rebuttle from the Ada fans?

bill.
