Dumping a Java program into a file and restarting it

Question

I was just wondering if it\'s possible to dump a running Java program into a file, and later on restart it (same machine)

It\'s sounds a bit weird, but who knows

Answer 1

This may me a bit overkill but one thing you can do is run something like VirtualBox and halt/save the machine.

There is also:
- JavaFlow from Apache that should do just that even though I haven't personally tried it.
- Brakes that may be exactly what you're looking for
