Canned Mistakes for Java

I don't usually like to announce vaporware projects, but I have to get this one out to motivate myself to push it on.

Canned Mistakes are small applications that demonstrate relatively common problems, such as different kinds of memory leaks or unbuffered I/O, documentation on how to diagnose the problems using jstat, VisualVM, DTrace and YourKit, and instructions of how to work around and fix the problems.

Why? To provide a controlled setting for learning and truly understanding situations which, in the wild, have too much pressure attached to allow careful reflection.

Leave a comment if you think of a specific situation that should be covered.
