Mark an Item for Search
To enable you to work efficiently with multiple windows, the visualizers provide a simple means
of marking selected items such as methods, types, objects, and classes, and then locating marked
items in other windows, or in displays showing other monitoring metrics. The marking mechanism
is based on names, so it works across different data files provided they contain items with matching
names.
When you select an item in a display to mark (single-click the item with the left mouse button), click
the Mark button [ ] in the tool bar, or Mark to Find in the Edit menu. Marking an item copies the
name and/or other properties of the current item (highlighted by blue-green color) into the search
pattern. A status message will display in the lower right bottom of the visualizer widow, confirming
the selection that is the current mark. The message will look similar to this:
Marked java.util.BitSet.recalculatedUnitsinUse
Using the Marked Object List on the Console
Each time an object is marked in a visualizer, a history list on the console is updated. The list is
limited to the seven most recent marked items.
