Answer from AI
For analyzing Heap Dump in Java, I often use the following tools:
- Eclipse Memory Analyzer (MAT) — a powerful tool for detecting memory leaks and analyzing objects in the heap.
- VisualVM — a user-friendly tool with a graphical interface for monitoring and analyzing memory.
- jhat — a built-in JDK tool for analyzing heap dumps via a web interface.
Example of using MAT: load the heap dump, generate a report on suspicious objects, find retention chains of objects causing leaks.
