This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Please consider making the heap browser a 1st class citizen by placing "Dump Heap" as its own button. Right now it is hidden as a sub-menu item and I had to look up instructions on the Netbeans website in order to locate it.
You're right, Dump Heap should have it's own button. This has already been requested in Issue 96203 and Issue 102705. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 102705 ***
