Hi All,

I am new to eclipse, using Eclipse SDK for java.

And also used for debugging my stand alone java application.

My Question is how to setup MAT in eclipse and analyze my project.

Any Help.

Hi Jamal,

to analyze your standalone application, you first need a heap dump which was taken while your application is running. The Memory Analyzer does not analyze source code or anything, but an image of the object in memory at runtime.

Read here how to get an heap dump:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/MemoryAnalyzer#Getting_a_Heap_Dump

Once you have that dump, you can either use the standalone version of the MAT (just open the dump and go):
http://www.eclipse.org/mat/downloads.php

Or alternatively install MAT into your Eclipse using the update manager (it's on the Galileo update site).

Andreas.
