Eclipse Memory Analyser

November 27, 2016
That is probably by far the best heapdump analyser tool I've ever used. It provides immediate suggestions to the problem, and also allows you to drill into the details of the heap and navigate the object tree, so you can understand how much memory a data structure utilizes.

There are number of good articles on the subject. One of the good intro articles here.

I've found that I had to run tool with increased memory on Mac in order to open large heaps. To run it on Mac with extended memory (below is 6Gb) execute following command:
open -a mat --args -vmargs -Xmx6G
Hope it helped someone...
