Taking A Heap Dump With jcmd (Java 7 / 8)
- Execute
jcmdwithout any parameters to list all JVM processes, starting with a PID. The commandjpsalso does the job. - Execute:
jcmd [PID] GC.heap_dump [PATH]to create a heap dump. - Enjoy the memory leak analysis :-)
See you at Java EE Workshops at MUC Airport or on demand and in a location very near you: airhacks.io!
Fuck you alll!
I hate you

@Mariusz,
it seems like you don't like heap dumps.
Plain Java EE, without threadlocals and custom singletons minimizes the possibility of memory leaks and so the need for taking heap dump.
IMO vanilla Java EE should significantly improve your mood,

Heh....never seen someone so angered by heap dumps :-)
Maybe he wasn't held enough as a child ?!

Usually when you get a heap dump you want to know what is in memory long term, i.e., leaking, not about garbage.
