Tutorial: Profiling Java Programs
--D. Thiebaut (talk) 15:01, 30 September 2013 (EDT)
This tutorial is intended to give a brief overview of JVisualVM, the profiler for Java. We use this profiler with Eclipse and use a 2D-packing application as our target application. Our goal is to figure out where the program is spending most of its time. The environment used to create this tutorial is OS X 10.7.5 on an 2.8 GHz dual quad-core MacPro.
