Mike's Java Profiler 00.06 has been released. 

Mike's Java Profiler is a performance profiler for Java programs. It
collects statistics about accumulated time used by each stack frame in
the profiled program and presents the collected data in a GUI. The
presented data can be used to locate performance bottlenecks within the
profiled program. The data is presented in way that allows the user to
first view data at a low level of detail and then to drill down to
higher levels of detail. This facilitates more efficient bottleneck
identification than if the data was presented as a 1-dimensional list
like in some similar applications.

This release contains some major new functionality and some usability
enhancements.  New in this release is a new data collection technique
that, instead of timing each and every method call, records the call
stack of each thread periodically.  The resulting statistics include
only the number of samples charged to each stack frame.  They do not
include the number of times each stack frame was called, nor the
accumulated CPU and wall time in each stack frame.  However, the amount
of profiler overhead and datafile size are greatly reduced.  The old
timing technique is still supported and in fact remains the default.
The technique used by the profiler agent can be selected via JVM command
line.  See the user manual for details.  Also in this release are a
number of usability improvements.  The improvements include better
window sizing, better window positioning, better divider positioning,
and other such things.
