Analyzing Threads

Hi there,

So I could take the time to write something about how to analyze threads right?

Thing is there is are tons of data around this out there, so instead of that I'll only share this post from dZone I've find:

It is actually brilliant not only gives you context but it shows you how to read the dumps and gives you a hint on some patters.

The other thing I've got to share is a profiling tool I've been checking out (didn't know it existed) and it quite nice:

The tool allows you to hock to a VM and check what's going on in regards to CPU usage, thread count, memory (and it generations) etc.
It's really quite descriptive but it comes with a catch, you have to pay for it. Then again it has a trial period.

Well that's all folks!!!
