java

does java 6 generate thread dump in addition to heap dump (java_pid14941.hprof)
this is what happened to one of my applications.

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded Dumping heap to java_pid14941.hprof ...
I did find ava_pid14941.hprof in working directory, but didn't find any file which contains thread dump. I need to know what all the threads were doing when I got this OutOfMemory error.
Is there any configuration option which will generate thread dump in addition to heap dump on out of memory exception?
