Where do java interfaces reside in memory? Do they reside in the heap or the stack, or maybe global memory? I am thinking the are in the stack since they are created at compile time. Am I correct?

Class definitions — including interfaces and abstract classes — are held in PermGen space, meaning they are never garbage collected. The PermGen is, iirc, a part of the heap.
