Yes, for Java, at IBM Haifa (of all places):

Tamar Domani, Elliot K. Kolodner, Ethan Lewis, Eliot E. Salant, Katherine
Barabash, Itai Lahan, Yossi Levanoni, Erez Petrank, Igor Yanover: Implementing
an On-the-Fly Garbage Collector for Java. ISMM 2000: 155-166
http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/362422.362484

later extended with generations:

Tamar Domani, Elliot K. Kolodner, Erez Petrank: A generational on-the-fly
garbage collector for Java. PLDI 2000: 274-284
http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/349299.349336
