Getting main() method parameters from a heap dump

Question

I have a Java binary heap dump file. Is there a generic way to find out the command line parameters that were passed in to the program's main() method?

I tend to use Eclipse MAT for working with heap dumps.

If the main thread is still alive then the arguments should be referenced on the heap. You should be able to find it using OQL statement like one mentioned in https://stackoverflow.com/a/3675163/32090
