[mjp-development] MJP 00.03 Released

[Mike B. <mbr...@vi...>]

Mike's Java Profiler 00.03 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 provides working support for Linux.  I have not done a
lot of testing on Linux.  The code passes the automated tests, but is
known to fail when profiling itself.  I did my testing on RedHat 7.2
with Sun's JDK 1.4.1.

This release also contains the beginnings of a user manual.  The user
manual contains the a repackaging of the old overview and installation
instructions and new documentation on data collection.
