dtrace discuss - May 2008 - Annoucement: Statically defined probes in Java now available

Hello all,

Apologies for the shameless promotion, but many of you on this list 
might be interested in this.  The latest build of the Sun Java JDK for 
JDK7 now supports an interface for adding statically-defined DTrace 
probes to Java applications.

I''ve written up a short blog entry [1] with an overview and pointers to
where you can get the binaries, documentation, and sources.  It''s still
bleeding-edge, of course, so don''t expect it to be perfect just yet,
but
definitely let me know if you try it and run into any issues (or any 
general feedback, positive or negative).

Good luck, and I hope you find it useful.

Excellent!

I just thought I''d add to the thread that the JavaOne Hands-on-lab also
covered adding probes with JDK 7:
