A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
-XX:-DisableExplicitGC should be -XX:+DisableExplicitGC. The HotSpot virtual machine does not recognize this error, which means that it'll keep performing major GC collections on invocations of System.gc() when it should ignore those method calls.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
-XX:+DisableExplicitGC Disable calls to System.gc(), JVM still performs garbage collection when necessary
ACTUAL -
-XX:-DisableExplicitGC Disable calls to System.gc(), JVM still performs garbage collection when necessary
