Profiling tool for applets using Microsoft JVM?

[Chinh Tran Nam]

Hello All,

I have an applet designed to work in Microsoft JVM. It is slow and sometimes crashes the browser and I doubted that it caused memory leak. Therefore, I wish to have a profiling tool which can collect time and memory consumption from Microsoft JVM.

Please advice.

That is sometimes crashes the browser probably can't be helped - the MS JVM is very old and buggy.

You can run the applet offline and profile it like any other Java application, something like the following:

java -classpath C:\j2sdk1.4.2_04\lib\tools.jar -prof sun.applet.AppletViewer appletpage.html

That will produce a profiling file that can be analyzed with any number of tools, e.g ProfileViewer, if I may advertise a tool I worked on myself.
