The classes view shows the list of all classes and arrays types together with the number of instances which are allocated on the heap. There are three columns shown in the table, which can be sorted.

• Name
  Shows the name of the class or the array type. The notation <class>[] stands for non-primitive arrays of any class type. A further distinction is not possible due to the nature of Java bytecode.
• Instance count
  Shows how many instances are currently allocated on the heap. This instance count is displayed graphically as well.
• Size
  Shows the total size of all allocated instances. Note that this is the shallow size which does not include the size of referenced arrays and instances but only the size of the corresponding pointers. The size is in bytes and includes only the object data, it does not include internal JVM structures for the class, nor does it include class data or local variables.

No specific view settings apply to the classes view.

• select one or multiple classes or array types from the table and click the [Use selected] button above the table.
