Hi Thomas, I think in your case it will be easier to use Probekit to collect your runtime data rather than using the JVMPI or JVMTI agents directly. Here are some pointers that should get you started:
See the Probekit screencast here: http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/platform/documents/probekit/viewlet/IntroToProbekit_viewlet_swf.html Read the document called "Creating Custom Profilers with Probekit": http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/platform/documents/probekit/probekit_4.3.html Download the 'demo.zip' file for the EclipseCon 2007 long talk for Probekit. The presentation is called "The Fine Art of Reverse Engineering". For this demo, I actually used a probe to dynamically generate a call graph of the methods that are invoked for a specific operation: http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/home/documents/conferences/eclipseCon2007/index.html Note that all of these links are available from our main documentation page: http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/home/documents/index.html Good Luck, Navid Mehregani Problem Determination Tools [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thomas Eichstädt-Engelen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 28/03/2007 10:18 AM Please respond to TPTP Tracing and Profiling Tools Project developer discussions <tptp-tracing-profiling-tools-dev@eclipse.org> To <tptp-tracing-profiling-tools-dev@eclipse.org> cc Subject [tptp-tracing-profiling-tools-dev] dynamic callGraph, custom profiler, need for pointers Hi all, i am currently working on my bachelor thesis which makes use of the tptp tracing components (probably you read my question in the newsgroup). My first attempt was to create my own profiler to collect execution data (method entry/exit) to create a dynamic callgrapg from. Then one gave me the hint to look at uml2sd which creates something like that. I checked out the plugin "org.eclipse.tptp.platform.common.ui" and found some classes reagarding creation of a SDView. What i did not find were classes dealing with retreaving trace data (from whereever) to visualise. Could you give me a more detailed pointer, please. I searched through the code but was not successful right now. What I would like to have is a callgraph of a JUnit-Testrun (whereas profiling JUnit Tests will not be supported anymore, right? [read that in a bug]). What i think i understood so far is the following: - at first i have to create a trcaxmi file with the existing ExecutionFlow Agent (probably by registering my own dataCollectionMechanism) - then i have to notified by somethinf that profiling has finished and data could be queried - than i have to query this trcaxmi file (somehow) and create the callgraph from, right? Furthermore, is there any possibility to query the trace data online (as events occur)? Or do i have to make the indirection via the file? If anyone could give me some pointers to get started it would be much appreciated.
