That's a fair point. I personally was considering JProbe as I already knew the product. I should confess that I haven't made a comparative study. I got this offer from JProbe that we can obviously decline. However, even if my current feeling is that JProfiler has all the required features I would vote +1 for JProbe only because of laziness. This being said I can of think that they are asking far too much. As I said those guys are not open source minded. > Arnaud are you in the process of making the ack page to put JProfiler on it? I have added JProfiler on an ack page: http://cwiki.apache.org/qpid/acknowledgment.html I have the feeling that we should also add IntelliJ as some of us are using a free license.
