Does anyone here have a favorite memory profiling/memory leak tool they like to use for their java webapps? [closed]

Question

I'm looking for a good tool to profile a java webapp. I'd like to get performance information and memory usage if possible.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

JProfiler is a really good one. It integrates with all the major IDEs and application servers.

Answer 2

The Eclipse Memory Analyzer is the best tool for analysing the memory usage of java applications

Answer 3

I use Netbeans Profiler:

Its free, has task based profiling, a heap walker, allows the insertion of profiling points, tracks memory usage and threading, but best of all it allows you to profile remote JVM's. You can even attach to ones which are already running.

Oh, and it works really well if you've a maven build for your project too.
