This debugging tool enables you to read and analyze the new -Xhprof files that are generated by JDK(tm) 1.2 as of the Beta 3 release. The Heap Analysis Tool (HAT) helps to debug unnecessary object retention (sometimes called "memory leaks") by providing a convenient means to browse the object topology in a heap snapshot, which is generated by the Java VM. HAT reads a hprof file, then sets itself up as a web server--therefore allowing you to run queries agains a heap dump contained within the hprof file. A complete description of the capabilities of the tool is given in the README file.
Note: THIS IS NOT A PRODUCT. The Heap Analysis Tool is part of a research and development project and is being released as interesting, but unsupported, technology that may be of use as a debugging aid for Java developers. |
