Thanks for the reply. I'm running i386 4.7 current (as of last week) with jdk 1.6 installed from cvs/ports.
I found the error. 06.05.10 17:24:22 ERROR util.PerformanceMonitor - Error creating snapshot: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Thread CPU Time Measurement is not supported. at sun.management.ThreadImpl.getThreadCpuTime(ThreadImpl.java:196) at com.devexperts.tos.util.JvmStateSnapshot.getCurrentCpuTimes(JvmStateSnapshot.java:45) at com.devexperts.tos.ui.user.util.PerformanceMonitor.createSnapshot(PerformanceMonitor.java:292) at com.devexperts.tos.ui.user.util.PerformanceMonitor.run(PerformanceMonitor.java:495) I will keep working on it and post any successful results.
