The max. heap size in my application is 2 GB and I am using Java 7.
The application crashed with an error :
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded
Dumping heap to java_pid8104.hprof
The problem is that when I open the dump file using the memory analyzer the total size of the objects was 2.5 GB while the max. heap size in my application is 2 GB?????
