GCViewer is a free open source tool to visualize data produced by the Java VM options -verbose:gc and -Xloggc:<file>. It also calculates garbage collection related performance metrics (throughput, accumulated pauses, longest pause, etc.). This can be very useful when tuning the garbage collection of a particular application by changing generation sizes or setting the initial heap size. See here for a useful summary of garbage collection related JVM parameters.

Java的垃圾收集Log信息的可视化工具。

-verbose:class
输出jvm载入类的相关信息。
大量加载class会造成Perm space out of memory.
-XX:PermSize=64MB 最小尺寸，初始分配
-XX:MaxPermSize=256MB 最大允许分配尺寸，按需分配
过小会导致：java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space
