[mjp-user] Mike's Java Profiler 00.10 Released

[Mike B. <mi...@fr...>]

Mike's Java Profiler 00.10 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.

I had intended that this release would be larger, but I have had
limited ambition to work on MJP. The main reasons for my lack of
ambition are:

- MJP's current features serve my personal needs.  
- The replacement for the underlying API that MJP uses to collect data,
  JVMPI, has arrived in the form of java.lang.instrumentation.  
- There has been very little user demand.  
- I've lost interest in the project.

However, this release does include a pair of important bug fixes that
have been bugging me for a while. The most important one eliminates the
limitation that prevented the environment from being passed to child
processes launched from MJP. See the change log for details.
