[mat-dev] MAT API in a command line tool

[Jevgeni Kabanov <ekabanov@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi guys,

I want to build a small command-line analysis tool using the MAT APIs. I found the following page:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/MemoryAnalyzer/FAQ#How_to_run_on_64bit_VM_while_the_native_SWT_are_32bit

Does this mean that I should build my own OSGi bundle/application that would depend on the headless parts of MAT and use the API to analyze the heap? What would be a good place to start? Did anyone have any experiences building command line tools with MAT that you could point me to?

Thanks!
