Version 0.4.5 of the jMechanic profiler plugin for Eclipse has been released. The new version includes the following major changes:
- Removed an unintended Swing popup menu in Heap Summary view that would cause hang
- Added a Heap Dump view in which the complete contents of the heap may be traversed
- Added new ProfilingLaunchSupport class in the jmechanic.eclipse.profiler.launching package to aid others interested in adding jMechanic support to their plugin
- Allow profiling to be used when in Run mode and not just Debug
More information can be found on the project website at http://jmechanic.sourceforge.net. Look for later releases to include:
- Filtering modes to better locate problem areas.
- Improved heap dump view tools.
- Profiling of remote applications.
- Enhanced visualizations.
If you would like to provide feedback or ideas for later releases of the plugin, please visit the Sourceforge project page at http://sourceforge.net/projects/jmechanic.
