How to view memory usage in eclipse (beginner)

Question

I have been working on a game in java using eclipse for a few months now and I have been trying to figure out how to view the memory usage and what is using the most memory. Can anyone please give me a step by step answer on how I would go about doing this? Thank you.

What have you tried ? What resources did you read ? Please see http://stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-ask — kebs, Jul 06 '15 at 20:39

You can use a good monitoring tool like VisualVM.
