I recently discovered jvisualvm and have been using it to profile
mkgmap. One thing I haven't discovered yet is how to profile an
application from the start - its trivial to attach to an already
running java app using the gui but if it's already running, you could
miss some useful info. So, the attached patch is a little kludge that
lets you start mkgmap but then it immediately pauses for a little while
(long enough to attach jvisualvm to it and turn on the profiling, etc.)
before it gets down to work.
To use this, just add -Dsleep-on-startup=30 or similar to your Java
args.
Can anyone think of a better way of achieving the same goal?
