| [mat-dev] MAT Proposal: Add Thread Overview Button |
Hi there, Happy New Years.
I've found that I recommend the use of the thread overview plugin very often. It's incredibly useful to do things such as seeing which database queries are running on which threads, finding the stacks of threads that consume too much heap, etc. However, getting to this feature is not obvious: Open Query Browser button > Java Basics > Thread Overview and Stacks, and then I find some novices do not realize that they can just click "Finish" on the dialog that asks for which threads to list.
I think this query is so useful that I propose adding a button to the main UI view. Here's a patch:
