Analyzer java-newgco

# Name

java-newgco - Java GC Object Allocation Flame Graph

This analyzer profiles garbage collection object allocation events in Java-land code execution within JVM applications. It captures stack traces at object allocation sites and tracks allocation frequency. The analyzer generates flame graphs that visualize object allocation patterns across different code paths, helping identify excessive object creation, allocation hotspots, and memory pressure issues in Java applications.

# Resource Category
