Eclipse Memory Analyzer

The Eclipse Memory Analyzer tool analyzes Java heap dumps and GC logs from Eclipse-based applications to identify memory growth patterns and leaks. It parses standard dump formats, builds object graphs, and computes retained sizes to prioritize suspects. By presenting dominator trees and allocation hot spots, it helps engineers understand why memory usage increases and which objects keep references to large portions of the heap. The tool is designed for developers, performance engineers, and ops teams responsible for Eclipse plug-ins and long-running IDE workflows. Its unique value lies in combining dump parsing with retention-path analysis to reveal root causes rather than surface-level statistics, enabling targeted fixes and faster remediation. Core features include heap-dump parsing, GC-log correlation, dominator-tree visualization, top-leak suspects, and exportable reports for JSON, CSV, or HTML. Typical use cases include diagnosing OutOfMemoryError during plugin builds, identifying leaking singleton caches, and validating memory budgets across modules. The approach emphasizes deterministic analysis on static data and reproducible results across environments, providing a clear audit trail for remediation efforts.
