This uses the (new in cupcake) VM command through JDWP. Older VMs are detected through the (also new) 'FEAT' command that notifies which features the VM supports. The hprof file is right now saved in /sdcard. Due to donut+ apps not having the SD Card permission by default, we may need to change this in the (near) future. Upon completion of the dump by the VM, DDMS will give the user a file selector to choose a place to save the file on the host machine. Future improvements: run (our own) hat, or hprof-conv and a standard hprof tool (Eclipse MAT integration for instance). This should be configurable by the user.

Using the Eclipse projects for ddms. ddms requires SWT to compile. SWT is available in the depot under //device/prebuild/<platform>/swt Because the build path cannot contain relative path that are not inside the project directory, the .classpath file references a user library called ANDROID_SWT. In order to compile the project, make a user library called ANDROID_SWT containing the jar available at //device/prebuild/<platform>/swt.
