Dtrace & Java - now in Mustang b58!

If you have been using DTrace on on the early builds of Java SE 6 (Mustang) on Solaris 10/Open Solaris on Sparc platform; you know that you had to do your own build of the JVM. The reason is simple, Solaris 8 is still the official build platform of Java SE on Solaris/Sparc. Building the JVM is not hard once your build environment is correctly configured. But building Mustang every weeks, from the updated source tree, just to enable Dtrace probes takes times! The good news is that since last build (b58), you can now use DTrace on the 'regular' Sparc Mustang build downloaded from java.net. No need to do your own build anywmore just to enable the DTrace probes! To test this, just do a dtrace ---l | grep hotspot or dtrace -l | grep jni while the JVM (Mustang build 58 min.) is running, and you'll get +500 DTraces probes.
