Using TPTP to profile an Eclipse Plugin

Question

I’m currently trying to profile an Eclipse Plugin using the TPTP tools. However, I have run into issues when trying to profile an plugin. I can profile a Java application fine, however when I try to profile an plugin, the runtime workbench fails to load and the profiling terminates after a few seconds.

I’m at a lost to what I’m doing wrong; I’m using Eclipse 3.4.0 and have the following TPTP features installed. Is there something I’m missing?

Answer 1

It's not the answer you are looking for, but I have to agree with the comments... I could never get TPTP to work for me either.

I did try JProbe, and found that worked very well. It's not all that expensive, and there is a trial period so you can make sure it does what you want.
