[eclipse-dev] profiler

["Walter Harley" <eclipse@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I seem to recall some discussion on the arch call within the last few
months of a Java profiler that integrates with Eclipse and is free or
very cheap, at least for Eclipse committers.  I might be confusing
myself with our discussion of UI testing software, though.

What's our current best practice, for profiling Eclipse components
(e.g., JDT)?  I only need to run on JDK 1.6, and I want to look both at
heap usage and at hot spots in code execution.  Should I be using TPTP,
or is there something else that is easier or better?  YourKit,
JProfiler, ...?

Thanks,
