Add fastdebug builds - Githubissues

wsargent commented 4 years ago

There are fastdebug builds on https://www.chriswhocodes.com/ that contain debug symbols for JDK, which is useful for USDT probes and finer-level debugging of the JVM. They're only for Linux, but still incredibly useful.

The format is the same for all of them:

And they can be installed in the $HOME/.jabba/jdk directory with no problems.

Can always install as custom JDKs using:

jabba install fastdebug@11=tgz+https://www.chriswhocodes.com/downloads/jdk11-chriswhocodes-nightly-linux-x86_64-fastdebug.tgz

There are also fastdebug builds available at https://github.com/ojdkbuild/ojdkbuild by @akashche which look like they're available for multiple platforms.

Useful! @wsargent Is this an issue, feature request, or a pro tip?

I'm asking so that we can close this issue if it is not actually an issue.

Feature request to have it in the list when you type jabba ls-remote

Ah I see. Yeah I don't see why not 👍🏻

If you want to open a PR feel free. If not, I'll work on it.
