History

HeapInspector was created during the spring of 1998 before other java tools supported back tracing references to debug memory leaks. I was involved in a large java project which was leaking a lot of memory when run over a long period of time, and the only option was to write this from scratch. Today I would recommend using OptimizeIt or another professional debugging tool.

Heap Inspector Source Code

You can download the source code here. Feel free to hack away at it as you like. If you add some functionality, or port it to another platform let me know (moellep@yahoo.com), and I'll include a link here.
