Duration of individual methods (Java)

Question

Is there some kind of tool/plugin (preferably for eclipse) that would allow me to determine how much time each method of my code is taking or something along those lines? Or perhaps determine what is taking an unusually large amount of time? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Take a look at The Eclipse Test & Performance Tools Platform (TPTP) - it allows you to profile all methods entered for a single execution. It is a very un-intrusive method - it does not force you to make code changes.

Here are the install instructions.

Edit: It seams, that TPTP is not available after Eclipse Helios. You can use VisualVM as an stand-alone profiler. If you want Eclipse integration, there is the tool JVM Monitor, but I have note used that.
