As Jon Bentley said, “Make it work before you make it work fast.”

I got this line in the JMP user guide. By the way, JMP stands for Java Memory Profiler.
Oh yeah, we’re now looking for possible memory leaks.

I also found out that JMP can be installed in Gutsy Gibbon using apt-get.
After installing, I tried running it with MAVEN.
added the -Xrunjmp:<your options> in the MAVEN_OPTS, it worked.

There are three things you can profile with this tool:

• Profiling objects to find memory leaks and find causes for heavy memory usage
• Profiling methods to find out where your program spends time
• Inspect threads to find out why your program is blocked
