MONITORING CLASS LOADING AND GARBAGE COLLECTION

有用野要抄低。

Have you ever wondered what classes are loaded when you launch an application or from where the classes are loaded? Have you ever wondered when garbage collection runs or how long it takes? The java command line tool offers several different command line options that you can use to get answers to those questions.

You might already be familiar with a number of command line options available with the java command line tool, such as -cp, -Xms, and -Xmx. The -cp option is used for specifying the classpath. The -Xms and -Xmx options are used to specify the heap size. For example, instead of setting the CLASSPATH environment variable, you can use the -cp option to tell the system to look in a specific directory for necessary class files:

java -cp ExampleDir MyExample

Here, the system will look in the ExampleDir subdirectory for the MyExample.class file and anything else needed besides the system classes. The ExampleDir in the command line tells the system to look only in the ExampleDir directory (assume that it’s the parent directory). If MyExample.class is located in the current working directory, the system would not find it.
