java.lang.NullPointerException

Here is my environment.

java version "1.8.0_60"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_60-b27)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.60-b23, mixed mode)

Linux version 2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64

But jhat can analyze it correctly.

It appears that this is a known issue for Java 8. See Bug 471757 and Bug 476262 . Neither have fixes. As a temporary workaround, I would try Yourkit . It costs money, but it's worked well for me in the past, and at least you can get a free 2 week evaluation key that should be long enough to resolve your current issue.
