Performance testing: Profiling using YJP

There are two actions in Your Kit Java Profiler for finding paths:

• Select an object and use Memory menu Paths from GC Roots. To find out why that object is retained in memory. This action is needed when you have found a leaked object and want to fix the memory leak.

• Memory menu Paths between Predefined Sets is the most common way to find out how an object of the source set references objects of the target set.

GC roots (Garbage Collector):

GC roots are objects special for garbage collector.
