[mat-dev] Acquire Dumps and Boolean flags

[Andrew Johnson <andrew_johnson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I've made some improvements
to acquire dumps

allow the use
of jcmd to generate dumps – both for HPROF and for the IBM exec dump provider
enable chunked
zip option for HPROF / export HPROF
make the PID column
wider for long pids
improved documentation
for later JVMs
boolean flags
for providers etc. are not now marked as mandatory
improvements in
zip/jextract where source and target are the same
progress monitor
for zipping
progress monitor
for HPROF process listing

Dump parsers now
have Eclipse content describers more closely tied to the parsers - so MAT
can better identify dumps with the wrong extension.
I also added some
more validation for the UI arguments for file names and directories.

I have also tried
using a check box for boolean arguments for all queries rather than a combo
box with true/false. I think it's slightly clearer but what do you think?

Please have a
test of a snapshot build and say what you think.
