Re: GC Roots? How to iterate long-lived objects?

Mark,
Take a look at the profiler from Sci-Tech AB [http://www.scitech.se]
When you take a snapshot of your application the profiler will do a
full GC and display the remaining objects. You can also take multiple
snapshots and do a before and after comparison.
