Hi Francois,

You can get started by listing couple of things:

1. What JVM are you using ? JDK 1.5, 1.6 ?

2. Based on no.1 try to build yourself certain procedures how can you
get started with DTrace for your debug:
 2.1 Use the DVM agent if you are using JDK 1.5
 2.2 Use the Hotspot provider found for Java 1.6
 2.3 If 2.2 applicable use DTraceToolkit and check the Java category

You can start by simple understanding how jstack() works. Check out the DTrace
user guide or one of DTT presentations:

Cheers,
Stefan
