What is the best way to get a thread and heap dump of a Java process on Windows that’s not running in a console?

If you’re looking for a more visual approach, Java Mission Control (JMC) or VisualVM can help.

  1. Open JMC or VisualVM.
  2. Attach it to the running process.
  3. Navigate to the Heap Dump option and generate it with a single click.

This method is super helpful if you prefer a GUI-based approach instead of command-line tools.
