I\'m trying to run jstack command on my java application. Application is rather big, running inside jboss AS occupying about 4gb of memory. OS is Windows Server 2003 Standar
We had problems running JStack on a Windows machine with even a modest application (1GB). We ended up doing our stack and heap analysis using Netbeans. This seemed to cope with the parsing of dump files a lot better. YMMV.
Give Netbeans a try for profiling - its very good. Note that VisualVM is a cutdown NB profiler and comes with 6u7.
