title: Tool or tricks to analyze offline Java heap dumps (.hprof)
body: <p>Are there any tools that allow offline analysis (including summary/sorting/sifting) of an .hprof file?  Or can you run VisualVM, hat etc in batch mode?</p>
  
  <p>I'm interested in something that can take an input .hprof file, crunch it and generate reports. </p>
  
  <p>I assume you would need to pass in a bunch of options to configure the report, so if you know any helpful tips, please weigh in.</p>
  
  <p>Preferably scriptable so I could run a bunch at once.</p>
