| 2 | This HAT source originally came from the http://hat.dev.java.net site. |
| 3 | |
| 4 | The utility has been named 'jhat' in the JDK, it is basically the same tool. |
| 5 | |
| 6 | Q: Where do I make changes? In the JDK or hat.dev.java.net? |
| 7 | |
| 8 | A: It depends on whether the change is intended for the JDK jhat version only, |
| 9 | or expected to be given back to the java.net project. |
| 10 | In general, we should putback changes to the java.net project and |
| 11 | bringover those changes to the JDK. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Q: I want to build just jhat.jar instead of building entire JDK. What should I do? |
| 14 | |
| 15 | A: Use ant makefile (build.xml) in the current directory. This builds just the |
| 16 | jhat sources and creates jhat.jar under ./build directory. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | To run the built jhat.jar, you can use the command: |
| 19 | |
| 20 | java -jar build/jhat.jar heap_dump |
