On a failed leak check, read back the heap dump JMemoryBuddy already creates and print the strong-reference path from a GC root to each not-collected object. Targets are located via a marker TrackedWeakReference; weak referents are excluded from the path. Best-effort, off with -Djmemorybuddy.printPath=false.

On a failed leak check, JMemoryBuddy now reads back the heap dump it already writes and prints the strong-reference path from a GC root to each not-collected object — so the common case no longer needs VisualVM/MAT.
TrackedWeakReference;Reference.referentis excluded so weak refs never appear as the retaining path.-Djmemorybuddy.maxObjects. Disable with-Djmemorybuddy.printPath=false.Example:
