Trouble with Java SE applications
Filed under: java javase on Wednesday Oct 15, 2008
Like searching for the black box
after an air crash, Java developers can find themselves digging
through the wreckage after a crash, wondering what went wrong
and how to stop it happening again.So the recent 2.0 update to the nifty Thread Dump Analyser (run it !) tool is a useful reminder of all the tools that are available in the hunt.
The VisualVM represents a big step forward in the overall toolbox for the JDK: building on the basic tools jps, jstack, jstat, jmap and jinfo with the NetBeans Profiler into one handy usable UI. And the updated Thread Dump Analyser plugs neatly in.
Perhaps you also saw over the summer that the other providers of JDKs joined the new JSR 326, led by Steve Poole at IBM to make a standard API for post-mortem diagnostics ?
Hope then that some of these neat tools will work on every implementation of Java SE.
