Java Heap fragmentation is an interesting problem, which triggers long pausing full garbage collection cycles. In this article we would like to attempt to explain the heap fragmentation.
Let’s say developer write a code ‘new BMW()’. This will create a new BMW object in the heap memory space. Example:

Since we are analyzing thousands of Garbage Collection logs every single day through our GCeasy tool, we are noticing several java applications still continuing to use ‘-XX:+UseCompressedOops’ JVM argument. Actually, it’s not required to pass ‘-XX:+UseCompressedOops’ JVM argument if you are running in Java SE 6 update 23 and later. Compressed oops is supported and enabled by default in Java SE 6u23 and later versions.

jstat is a simple utility tool, that is present in JDK to provide JVM performance-related statistics like garbage collection, compilation activities. The major strength of jstat is its ability to capture these metrics dynamically when JVM is running without any pre-requisite instrumentation. What do we mean by it? Say for example if you want to capture garbage collection related statistics, you need to pass below arguments before you start the JVM:
