Hi Francis,

Did you have a specific reason to get the heap dump using code? You should be 
able to acquire a Heap dump (hprof) from within MAT using File > Acquire heap 
dump. VisualVm also can do that I believe (right-click on process?). There is 
also the jmap command that can output a heap dump. Just to save you some time 
for next time ;)

Subject: [linuxtools-dev] Memory usage of TmfExperiment

I used Eclipse Memory Analyzer (MAT) to find the object holding a reference to 
a large temporary chunk of memory. It appears that TmfExperiment is not 
AutoClosable as other traces, and calling dispose() method on the experiment 
solved the issue. (Whole story: 
http://multivax.blogspot.ca/2014/08/pinpoint-memory-usage-of-java-program.html )

For the debugging, I needed the HeapDump class. However, I could not find it in 
other linuxtools plug-ins, and I don't know how to search for that class in p2 
repo, such as Orbit. I think that would be very helpful to have it in the class 
path. Here is the slightly modified version I have:

Cheers,

Francis
