Recommendations for a heap analysis tool for Java? [closed]
Eclipse Memory analyzer http://www.eclipse.org/mat/
- Support for multiple JVMs
- Help with identifying sources for memory leaks(see http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/6856)
- Open source and actively developed by major vendors (SAP and IBM)
- Part of Galileo release of Eclipse
YourKit : http://www.yourkit.com/
Pros:
- The interface is clean and it's fast
- It opened a large 5-gig heap dump where jProfiler grined to a halt. And it only needed 1-2 gigs of JVM ram to do so.
Cons:Of course... it's not free :(
