Description _ gsporar 2006-08-24 15:10:41 UTC 
This enhancement to the HeapWalker would add a diff capability that reports on a
very specific set of data: Collection and Map objects that are growing in size.

In large web/enterprise Java applications the source of memory leaks is
frequently a reference to an object that was unintentionally left in a
Collection or Map.  So having a tool that could compare two heap snapshots and
then report on which specific Collection or Map objects have increased in size
would be very helpful.
