Hi,

I just learned of BTrace yesterday. I've installed the plugin into my Java VisualVM, and it appeared to be successful. The Plugins --> Installed tab shows:

BTrace Workbench
Version: 0.6.4
Source: Java VisualVM Plugins Center

However, I don't see any evidence of the BTrace plugin in the jvisualvm interface - no new tabs, no new menu items, etc.

If I connect to my GlassFish instance, I see these tabs: Overview, Monitor, Threads, Sampler, Profiler.

I can find no documentation about how one actually uses the BTrace plugin, so I don't know where to go from here.

Sorry to ask such a silly question, but I'm stumped.

Thanks,

Mike B

Try popup menu on an application and select "Trace application...".

The btrace plugin seems correctly installed here too, but there's no sign of it and no "Trace Application" option when I right-click an application.

Version: 0.6.5
Source: Java VisualVM Plugins Center

It's running on Java 1.7.0; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (21.0-b17, mixed mode), if that's any use.

Well, yes. BTrace 1.2 does not support JDK 1.7 due to a bug in the used version of ASM which might cause the traced application to crash.

For tracing applications running on JDK7 you will need to wait for an update (which will come in not so distant future, I hope).

Regards,
