Project D-Light (with Dtrace technology) in Sun Studio Express 6/07

The latest Sun Studio Express build is now available:

http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/downloads/express.jsp

Sun Studio Express is a preview build of the next release of Sun Studio. (post Sun Studio 12)

This latest build includes, for the first time, Project D-Light functionality that was demo'ed in James Gosling's JavaOne San Francisco keynote in early May. Project D-Light is a new tool that not only unifies application and system profiling, including the use of Dtrace technology, but also introduces a a simple drag 'n drop interface that interactively displays how your application is performing. In addition, you can identify the line of code you are at at any point in the timeline, giving you the information you need to make improvments, quickly.

The feature is pre-alpha, but we hope to get input which direction to take this. Give us feedback in our SDN Sun Studio Tools forum.
