Java heap dump & shut down - what order?

Question

I would like to detect an OutOfMemoryError, take a heap dump, and automatically exit the Java program. Say I have the following command-line arguments for my JVM:

Answer 1

In Java version 8u92 the VM arguments

• -XX:+ExitOnOutOfMemoryError
• -XX:+CrashOnOutOfMemoryError

were added, see the release notes.

ExitOnOutOfMemoryError
When you enable this option, the JVM exits on the first occurrence of an out-of-memory error. It can be used if you prefer restarting an instance of the JVM rather than handling out of memory errors.

CrashOnOutOfMemoryError
If this option is enabled, when an out-of-memory error occurs, the JVM crashes and produces text and binary crash files.

Enhancement Request: JDK-8138745 (parameter naming is wrong though JDK-8154713, ExitOnOutOfMemoryError instead of ExitOnOutOfMemory)
