Post by wolf »

What are the differences in functionality when profiling a JDK1.4 vs JDK1.5 JVM?

Thanks

In general functionalities are the same, but new API (which is used in Java 5 version of profiler agent) is more stable. For example, it's not possible to capture huge snapshot (1-2Gb) under JDK 1.4
