"Find path from GC Roots":
It would be great to have an option to find the x largest instances.
An export option for the result of that search would be really useful. Perhaps in XML-Format.
Find path from GC Roots, new option and export

Nice feature... but may be improved a little
Hi guys,
This is really a nice feature...
But there is a small little thing to make it even more useful: make the follow of weak references optional.
It's nice that weak references are not considered when doing that "soft" GC on the snapshot, but I am is the situation where I have an object that is referenced through a strong reference and hundreds of weak references.
In "Find path from GC Roots", I see all the references, including weak ones, and it's very time consuming to check each one, to see if it's weak or not (actually, I assume it's weak because it in the "value" field of an entry of a WeakHashMap).
