Is there a JVM option (-XX or otherwise) to log objects that are queued to be finalized? I'm debugging an application that has excessive finalizers which results in a huge amount of java.lang.ref.Finalizer instances (as seen in YourKit Java Profiler). It's difficult from looking at YourKit profiler which root object's finalize method is causing all the Finalizer instances.

Do -verbose:gc, -XX:+PrintGCDetails and -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps give you enough info?

No, those switches do not contain the specific objects being collected or finalized. – Steve Kuo Apr 03 '12 at 18:07

In that case, I think you'll have to put some code on those finalizers. – daveb Apr 04 '12 at 07:09
