    Description

      The GC combinations that were deprecated in JDK 8 have now been removed. This means that the following GC combinations no longer exist:
      * DefNew + CMS
      * ParNew + SerialOld
      * Incremental CMS
      The "foreground" mode for CMS has also been removed.

      The command line flags that were removed are: `-Xincgc, -XX:+CMSIncrementalMode, -XX:+UseCMSCompactAtFullCollection, -XX:+CMSFullGCsBeforeCompaction` and `-XX:+UseCMSCollectionPassing`.

      The command line flag `-XX:+UseParNewGC` no longer has any effect. ParNew can only be used with CMS and CMS requires ParNew. Thus, the `-XX:+UseParNewGC` flag has been deprecated and will likely be removed in a future release.
