Thanks for providing the JBoss Profiler. It seems like a great tool for me if only I can learn to use it properly.

Does the following sequence of events make sense to do?

Activate

Carry out a bunch of application operations to create and release objects

ForceGC() to make sure a GC happens and removes the released objects

HeapSnapShot()

Stop

Another HeapSnapShot()

Go through the above cycle once for a brief operation of application and again for a lengthy operation. Compare the un-released objects in the two scenarios. It seems that, in most cases, there will be unreleased objects.

Thanks
