When JVM creates dumps except memory
3 answers
I automatically create a heap dump only when it doesn't work and if it was configured to do so at startup (e.g. -XX: -HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError for Sun JVM) ...
But you can also send a signal to the JVM to request a dump (like kill -Quit pid) on tanning salons ...
So it depends on OS and JVM, but it is possible to request a dump ...
