Large Java Heap Dump Analysis

Just wanted to document the steps taken in a specific scenario. There are plenty of references covering the different parts (feel free to Google if you don't believe me).

Scenario:
Problematic Java application running on a Linux server with a large heap (~16 GB).
My devices, Windows Laptop/Desktop with a limited number of RAM.

Goal:
Take a heap dump and analyze with Eclipse Memory Analyzer.
