I think I increased my heap size to 1 GB in NetBeans since I changed the config to look like this:
netbeans_default_options="-J-Xmx1g ......
After I restarted NetBeans, can I be sure that my app is given 1 GB now?
Is there a way to verify this?
Use this code:
// Get current size of heap in bytes
long heapSize = Runtime.getRuntime().totalMemory();
// Get maximum size of heap in bytes. The heap cannot grow beyond this size.// Any attempt will result in an OutOfMemoryException.
long heapMaxSize = Runtime.getRuntime().maxMemory();
// Get amount of free memory within the heap in bytes. This size will increase // after garbage collection and decrease as new objects are created.
long heapFreeSize = Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemory();
It was useful to me to know it.
You can use jconsole (standard with most JDKs) to check heap sizes of any java process.
public class CheckHeapSize {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
long heapSize = Runtime.getRuntime().totalMemory();
// Get maximum size of heap in bytes. The heap cannot grow beyond this size.// Any attempt will result in an OutOfMemoryException.
long heapMaxSize = Runtime.getRuntime().maxMemory();
// Get amount of free memory within the heap in bytes. This size will increase // after garbage collection and decrease as new objects are created.
long heapFreeSize = Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemory();
System.out.println("heapsize"+formatSize(heapSize));
System.out.println("heapmaxsize"+formatSize(heapMaxSize));
System.out.println("heapFreesize"+formatSize(heapFreeSize));
}
public static String formatSize(long v) {
if (v < 1024) return v + " B";
int z = (63 - Long.numberOfLeadingZeros(v)) / 10;
return String.format("%.1f %sB", (double)v / (1L << (z*10)), " KMGTPE".charAt(z));
}
}
Attach with jvisualvm from Sun Java 6 JDK. Startup flags are listed.
You can Use the tool : Eclipse Memory Analyzer Tool http://www.eclipse.org/mat/ .
It is very useful.
Personal favourite for when jvisualvm is overkill or you need cli-only: jvmtop

For check your java application heap size and CPU time use JProfiler tools that will access your JVM and display all heap and CPU time allocation
plug in available for eclipse and intellej Idea IDE
