JVM Analysis

[Paul Keohan]

Is there a way to analyze what the JVM(s) is/are doing? I'm running an application that hangs when I instantiate a particular class so I'd like to be able to see if this triggers something that's slowing down the system. Can we see what objects are currently 'active' on each JVM?

Before digging into the JVM guts, I'd dig into that particular class. It sounds like it is recursively calling its constructor(s). Is it using this() or does one constructor call another?
