The Goldfish Chronicles

A week or so ago I installed JProfiler along with open-source usage license (sent them an email asking if such was available after hearing that Matt Raible had done the same). The aim was to use it on a bit of Commons Lang performance testing, but I ended up doing that by hand. Instead the first usage was to investigate the performance of Commons CSV (in the Sandbox).

As always, it performed admirably, but there was one rather painful teething problem. At first nothing worked, no matter what happened I just couldn’t drill down into the source code. Eventually I realised that by default JProfiler lists ‘org.apache’ on its global ignore filter, because usually such a package is not the code being worked on.

So….JProfiler rocks, but remember to modify the global filter if it’s for Apache code.
