Profiling fails #24

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Yesterday while profiling my application in NetBeans and VisualVM I discovered 
that no plugins classes profiled at all. They are invisible to profilers.
Possible due to separate classloader or some black magic during instantiating.

Are these results predictable or I just use wrong tools for profiling?

NetBeans 6.9, VisualVM 1.3
JSPF 0.9

Thanks,
Maxim

Whoops, completely missed this issue. Can confirm this issue after a brief 
check. Investigating.

Appears to be a problem of VisualVM. In my test case, the app uses 100% CPU, 
VisualVM only reports 50%, but it clearly sees the "bigbang" thread eating all 
resources:

Well, how do you profile then? Any advice?

Frankly, no idea. 

I played with VisualVM for some time now, and while it is able to see the 
actual thread, it does not take it into account for profiling. All in all, this 
looks like a VisualVM problem to me, not a JSPF one. 

Have you tried another profiler like YourKit? I once used their demo version on 
a JSPF project and it appeared to work without problems.

Closed, does not appear to be a JSPF bug. Will be reopened in case we have new 
insights.
