| RE: [mat-dev] MAT API in a command line tool |
|
Hi, Do you 1) want to build a tool which just
does some specific check (without the GUI) and outputs the result somewhere? If
so, then the answer from Andrew should be sufficient. Or are you 2) thinking of using the APIs
to work with heap dumps and offer command line interface for this? And if so,
do you think of implementing new queries/features, or you just want to expose
the existing ones via command line? At the very beginning the tool had a command
line interface (it was still before moving to Eclipe). And then it had both GUI
and command line. At some moment we dropped the command line. But most of the
queries are done in such a way, that the results which are returned are not
bound to the UI – they can be rendered in SWT and in HTML. Therefore if
you are happy with the existing functionality and want to expose it via
console, you can implement the part rendering the results to a console, and a
way to call something from a specific line (e.g. like a context menu). It doesn’t
exist. I guess we can give better answers if we
understand better what you need. Regards, Krum From:
mat-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mat-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jevgeni Kabanov Hi guys, I want to build a small command-line analysis tool using the MAT APIs.
I found the following page: Does this mean that I should build my own OSGi bundle/application that
would depend on the headless parts of MAT and use the API to analyze the heap?
What would be a good place to start? Did anyone have any experiences building
command line tools with MAT that you could point me to? Thanks!
