Cougaar 1.2 is a memory profiler that is not based on the Java Virtual Machine Profiling Interface (JVMPI). "The profiler tracks memory usage within the application by using tables of WeakReferences. The developer selects which classes should be tracked and runs an automated classfile editor (using BCEL) to add profiling instructions to the constructors. Runtime statistics are maintained, such as the number of allocated and GC'ed instances, and additional detail can be enabled such as per-instance allocation time and allocation-point stacktrace." The user interface is provided as a servlet based, local web site. The license is unclear, but Cougaar seems to be at least free-beer.
