I used PMAT to analyze verbosegc output from SUN JVM. It really messed up. Here is the summary

As you can see , the New generation and Tenured generation are running into 4gb -5gb etc., This is incorrect as the max heap is 1GB and browsing output shows the heap lower than this.

I used PMAT from ISA as well as I downloaded the copy from developerworks, they both have same result. Does anyone else have similar issues? I see that its supposed to be able to handle output from HotSpot JVM.
