Unable to load StandAlone version of Eclipse MAT (Memory Analyzer Tool)

Question

I wants to analyze Heap Dump on my local system. So I downloaded 64 bit version of standalone MAT.

But I am not able to launch the MAT. MAT UI is not getting launched when I double click on exe file.

MAT generated error logs under "configuration" directory. AS per the logs, MAT is not able to resolve dependency for "org.eclipse.birt.chart.device.extension". Please see more details below :

I am using 64 bit version of JDK 1.6.0_18 on 64 bit OS.

Can anyone please suggest some solution to resolve this issue ?

Answer 1

The line:

Unresolved requirement: Require-Capability: osgi.ee; filter:="(&(osgi.ee=JavaSE)(version=1.7))"

is saying you need to be using Java 7 (or 8)

You can specify a specific JVM to use for Eclipse MAT by editing the 'MemoryAnalyzer.ini' file in the install directory and adding the lines

-vm
path to Java 7 java

You must add this above the '-vmargs' line. You must put '-vm' on a separate line from the path.
