I created a simple console application that I run from Eclipse (right clicking on the file and selecting run as Java application.) I stuck a sleep in there so I can ensure that the process is still running when I start the Aquire Heap Dump Dialog. I start the dialog, hit refresh, and there are no local processes listed.
I checked Eclipse's error log and it only reports that it had problems listing the IBM VM processes (the HPROF one is configured and working fine.)
What am I doing wrong?
为什么不从您的程序代码创建堆转储？

或者当从这里遇到安全问题时： 从应用程序内创建堆转储，没有 HotSpotDiagnosticMXBean
我用它在我的 JUnit 测试中进行固定次数的迭代后进行堆转储，剩下要做的就是在 Eclipse MAT 中打开转储并找到内存泄漏的原因:-(
I faced same issue and after googled I found this solution.
Specify jdk path in "Acquire Head Dump" -> "Configure..." -> Select "HPROF jmap dump provider" -> "-jdkhome" -> speficy jdk path by default it should be "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_102" or your jdk location.
I hope it works for you.
