IBM Java Tools

Stream:

Java SIG (3)

Speakers:

Helen Beeken; Holly Cummins

Abstract:

The IBM Java Technology Centre has produced a number of new tools which make it easier to interpret the output of the Java Virtual Machine and come up with meaningful solutions to performance issues, hangs, and crashes. This session will explain how to use the Dump Analyzer, MDD4J, and the GC and Memory Visualizer to diagnose Java problems.
