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

[Andrew Johnson <andrew_johnson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If your analysis can just be done as an MAT query or queries then you can 
write a simple XML file to run the queries.
See org.eclipse.mat.api/META-INF/reports

overview.xml
suspects.xml
top_components.xml

for examples. I haven't seen a formal definition of our XML report 
definition format, but you should be able to work it out.

See menu option
Run Expert System Test -> Run Report
to test your XML, then you should be able to start MAT in batch mode and 
pass the path to your dump and your XML file.

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

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!
