This chapter describes the tools and options available
for postmortem diagnostics, analysis of hung or deadlocked processes,
monitoring memory usage, and performance monitoring.
The tools and options are listed in tables by
their respective functions in the first section of this chapter. Many
of them are listed in multiple tables because they can be used for
multiple functions.
The tools and options are described in detail
with examples, where applicable, in the remaining sections of this
chapter. All the tools and options described in this chapter are either
included in the Java 2 Platform Standard Edition Development Kit (JDK
1.5+), are included with Hewlett-Packard's Java product, or are available
for download at the Go Java! website:
