mac OS x tptp support? [message #141780]

I get the following message when trying to profile my java class on apple
mac OSX. After googling I saw that this mac is supposed to be supported
as of version 4.5.2 of TPTP. Is that true? I did the automatic update
via eclipse and I believe I got versions 4.2 to 4.5 depending on the TPTP
capability.

If I need 4.5.2 how do I know what to download and which pieces of TPTP
and dependencies that I will need?

If TPTP won't work on the mac, is there a preferred free method level
profiler for eclipse?

Hi Steve,

Mac OS support of Agent Controller is not yet available on TPTP. The
development is tracked under bug 68111 and feel free to add yourself to the
Bugzilla entry to track the process. Currently there is no target
date/release for the support.

There is Cobertura (http://cobertura.sourceforge.net/) that has code
coverage support. I have not used it but it sounds like it may work on Mac
OS.

Thanks for the info. Cobertura seems to only due code coverage not
execution time. http://cobertura.sourceforge.net/sample/

Are there any other options? I am currently doing the following, which
works however it is a file dump and hard to go through and doesn't do all
that I wish.

java -cp ..:my.jar -Xrunhprof:cpu=samples,depth=6,heap=sites
com.mypackage.MyClass

There is Cobertura seems to only have coverage, not performance metrics.
(http://cobertura.sourceforge.net/)

I have been using the following: java -cp ..:my.jar
-Xrunhprof:cpu=times,depth=6 com.mypackage.MyClass

However, the information is difficult to understand. For example it shows
a lot of time is taken in the String method, however it doesn't let me see
which of the classes I own and can change, are calling the String method
the most. Is there a gui tool for this? Or is there some other approach?
