I am looking for a free/open source tool to identify memory leaks in my JNI program.
I am using : java version "1.6.0_45", Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server.

Any suggestions?

The first thing i'd do is run with -Xcheck:jni on and see if it comes up with anything.

If you're on a Sun JVM, i think you can do -XX:TraceJNICalls to get an overwhelming listing of JNI calls as they happen. That should let you get an idea of what calls are being made, and from there work towards what is making them, and why this is causing a problem.

I was playing around some static inner class.

    package com.tutorial; 
    public class MyUpperClass {
        private MyUpperClass () {

        }
        private static class MyStaticInnerClass{
                    private static final MyUpperClass muc = new MyUpperClass ();
        }
        public static MyUpperClass getInstance() {
            return MyStaticInnerClass.muc;
        }
    }

Now, My question is, when does MystaticInnerClass get loaded into the JVM memory?
At the time of, when MyUpperClass get loaded or getInstance() get called?
