One of those tools is Java VisualVM, which is a graphical tool that shows you information about the applications that are executing in a JVM. You can find it in the bin directory of your JDK installation (jvisualvm.exe). You can also install a plugin for Eclipse (Eclipse launcher for VisualVM) to integrate its functionality on Eclipse.
