Tool to check for Objects created/destroyed by Garbage collector

[Gitesh Ramchandani]

Hi ranchers,

I'm looking for a tool which can show the following:

1. how many objects where created in the code
2. total objects destroyed by Garbage collector and at what point in the code

Regards,
Gitesh

I think some of the IDEs have the facility to check for the memory that JVM consumes, but to check for exact number of objects... no idea.

Howdy ranchers,

when you need this only for evaluating answers for the GC questions, why don't you just modify the classes with a constructor, that count++es a static int variable for creation and an override of the finalize() method that count++es a static int variable for garbage collection?
Perhaps both with a system out of a line of information?

Just a proposal,
Bu.
