java-programmer, memory profiler recommendation Javameisters,

I have written an application for J2SE using the Netbeans IDE. I would
like to test it for memory leaks before releasing it, and would like a
recommendation as to what to use. I tried OptimizeIt some time ago,
and it seemed to do what I want, but I was just wondering if there are
better (or less expensive) alternatives.

Thanks much,

Matthew Fleming

java-programmer >> memory profiler recommendation I'd recommend you YourKit Java Profiler (http://www.yourkit.com). One
of its great features is that profiler doesn't slow down your
application. You just need to run your application with small profiler
agent, then connect to the agent from profiler UI and capture memory
snapshot.

YourKit Profiler can also calculate "retained" size of the object or
set of objects. It allows to understand the amount of leaked memory.

Kind regards,
Vladimir Kondratyev
