And if you want even more details about how memory is being used, there 
is always the gnu.gcj.util.GCInfo class.  That and the 
gnu.gcj.tools.gc_analyze.MemoryAnalyze post processor give quite a bit 
of information.

These facilities are built on top of GC_dump() but provide a more 
detailed analysis of the contents of the memory.
