RE: Tracking down unwanted object retentions that are eating memo ry

Netbeans Profiler off the top of my head. I saw it used recently and it does
track memory usage. Supposed to be good at finding memory leaks.

Subject: Tracking down unwanted object retentions that are eating memory

We have a situation in which the latest experimental version of one of our
Java client programs is devouring memory like cuckoo, apparently from
something retaining references to obsolete objects.

Nobody here can see what could be causing it.

Does anybody here have any suggestions on how to track down unwanted object
retentions?

The client in question works either as an application, or an applet, or as a
webstart.
