Hi,

I have written a fairly complex program which converts mathematical
formulae into tree automata, and am in the process of trying it out with
different formulas.  The results are discouraging, I get an
OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space with fairly small formula.  Now I have
some hashmaps which I suspect from being the cause of this problem, but
I can’t seem to pin down which one.  I would like to do a debugging run
and see how the heap space is distributed among the objects that are
created.

So the question: is there some debugging program which shows a
(preferably graphical) view of the heap space and the size of the
objects in it, and how they evolve.  I use Eclipse, but having to
inspect manually those hashes after each few steps is difficult.  Nicest
would be to have some flowing chart which shows the big memory consumers.

Any ideas how to approach this?

Thanks, H.
