 While browsing Cygnus's web pages, I came across Alexandre Petit-Bianco's
discussion of gc for Java, the URL is 
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/java/papers/nosb.html

While not quite up-to-date with the current kaffe sources, this write-up
gives a very good introduction into Kaffe's garbage collection scheme.
It also provides some background in gc and discusses issues such as
compiler support for write barriers.
