JProfiler offers a live call-tree view so you can see what’s using CPU in real-time and drill down for the details. Reset the counts to zero at any time, rinse, repeat.
I’m currently without that tool, and trying to get by with free/open alternatives. jvisualvm and the NetBeans profiler have a static snapshot call-tree and a live flat view.
It seems to reason that there would a live call-tree view available (or as a plugin) but I can’t seem to find one.
Is this sort of feature only available in commercial profilers?
Thanks.
Given that no-one has mentioned a non-commercial version of this feature, and that I can’t find one, I will claim the answer is:
As of the time of this post, this feature is only available in commercial profilers.
Update May 2012. I Still can’t find anything.
