Heap dump agent

Takes a heap dump on program exit. Currently supports two ways of exiting. The first is by using the System.exit(). The second is by exiting normally through the main function (only for JARs where the Main-Class attribute is defined).

To build the heap dump agent, run the following command:

mvn clean install

To run Program.jar with the heap dumpe agent, run the following command:

java -javaagent:target/theLastDump-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar -jar Program.jar

Optional agent arguments

ignoreMain: Skips the main instrumentation.

file=<file>: Write dump to specific file. The default value is heap-dump.hprof.
