The upcoming release of JRockit will contain a new, completely killing, tool for memory leak detection.

It allows you to (among many other things) to profile an application running in production with (almost) zero overhead (without shutting it down or any preparation whatsoever).

Bill Burke and Dion Almaer has already blogged about it.

If you are interested to find out more, we have set up a webinar demo that anyone can join. Drop me an email at [jboner AT gmail DOT com] and I will send you the 'dial in info'.
