Memory Analyzer Can’t Handle Large Heaps

Despite the claims that Memory Analyzer works well with large heaps, the following screenshot is the evidence of my continued inability to have it parse a 3.5GB heap dump.

I have attempted JDK 5 and JDK 6, both 64-bit, with up to 14GB of memory allocated on an 8-core machine with 16GB of memory.

Note the memory bar at the bottom showing it’s using only 2121M out of 11879M – yet it still thinks it’s running out of memory.

The settings are:

-vmargs

-Xms12g

-Xmx14g

-XX:MaxPermSize=1G

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.carbon.smallFonts

-XstartOnFirstThread

 

-vmargs
-Xms12g
-Xmx14g
-XX:MaxPermSize=1G
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.carbon.smallFonts
-XstartOnFirstThread
