Memory Analysis within Eclipse in Practice with JProbe

The performance of many enterprise Java applications is poor, forcing afflicted companies to pay the high price of lost sales and failing reputations. Fortunately, proactive attention to the performance of an application while it is being developed can eliminate most performance issues before your customers ever see them.

This technical paper illustrates how to configure the automated analysis of unit test case memory usage using Quest Software’s JProbe® running inside the Eclipse Java IDE and provides strategies for isolating and resolving memory leaks. JProbe enables you to easily generate memory profiles in a repeatable fashion on a regular basis so your application performance will enhance, rather than hurt, your business.
