Configuring JRE for running MAT [message #5441]

Hi,

On a Win64 x64 machine, my JAVA_HOME (and PATH) point to a 32-bit JDK -
primarily used for running maven.

How can I configure MAT to run using a specific x64 JRE that's also
installed on my system?

The hack I use right now is to copy the (server) x64 "jre" subdirectory
inside the MAT directory - that seems to get picked up. However, I
assume there's an easier and cleaner way?

Thanks

Hi,

Try running
MemoryAnalyzer.exe -vm <path_to_jdk>\bin

pay attention you have to give it thepath down to the bin folder.

Let me know if this helps.

regards,
Krum

Thanks, I've got it working.
Had to play for a few minutes with proper quoting.

This one works:
"C:\Program Files\<mat x64 dir>\MemoryAnalyzer.exe" -vm "C:\Program
Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_07_x64\bin"

This one doesn't:
"C:\Program Files\<mat x64 dir>\mat\MemoryAnalyzer.exe" "-vm C:\Program
Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_07_x64\bin"

Thanks for your help,
