Trivial way to inspect OpenJDK's Java Object Layout of your Scala classes.
Get the latest via:
// project/plugins.sbt
addSbtPlugin("com.github.xuwei-k" % "sbt-jol" % pluginVersionHere)Which allows you to (note auto-completion works nicely):

[info] example.Entry object internals:
[info] OFFSET SIZE TYPE DESCRIPTION VALUE
[info] 0 12 (object header) N/A
[info] 12 4 int Entry.value N/A
[info] 16 4 String Entry.key N/A
[info] 20 4 (loss due to the next object alignment)
[info] Instance size: 24 bytes
[info] Space losses: 0 bytes internal + 4 bytes external = 4 bytes total
Please note that this plugin is mostly developed on a "on demand" basis by and for myself, contributions are very (!) welcome since I most likely will not focus much on it unless I need more features (and for now estimates and internal are all I needed).
