Debugging / memory leak utilities? [message #297007]

Are there a good set of memory leak detection tools for Eclipse Plug-in
developers? Would rather try something that is free at least to test and
not super pricey in the end like some of the commercial stuff I have
seen for Swing.

I want to make sure our product is running as clean as possible. Not
that we create a lot of fonts or colors but over time even a little leak
can flood the place.

If it's native resources you're curious about, then you can try Sleak
(http://www.eclipse.org/articles/swt-design-2/sleak.htm).

As for other leak detection, OptimizeIt and YourKit are okay.

cheers,

TPTP has a decent profiler that can help you to identify memory leaks:
