Java profiler for IBM JVM 1.4.2 (WebSphere 6.0.2)

Question

I'm looking for a Java profiler that works well with the JVM coming with WebSphere 6.0.2 (IBM JVM 1.4.2). I use yourkit for my usual profiling needs, but it specifically refuses to work with this old jvm (I'm sure the authors had their reasons...).

Can anybody point to a decent profiler that can do the job? Not interested in a generic list of profilers, BTW, I've seen the other stackoverflow theread, but I'd rather not try them one by one.

I would prefer a free version, if possible, since this is a one-off need (I hope!) and I would rather not pay for another profiler just for this.

Old post, but this may help someone. You can use IBM Health Center which is free. It can be downloaded standalone or as part of the IBM Support Assistant. I suggest downloading ISA since it has a ton of other useful tools such as Garbage Collection and Memory Visualizer and Memory Analyzer.
