Moving the blog to dev.elcipse.org/blogs

I intend to move this blog to

I also intend to be a little bit more active with blogging.
But, lets see...

JPicus - the tool for Java I/O analysis

"If I want to read something nice, I sit and right it myself!"
Mark Twain

I heard this quote just a few weeks ago. Do not know whether it is really Mark Twain that said it, but it is an interesting quote.

This is one of the "jokes" a friend of mine used in his presentation at JavaOne 2009. More specifically Technical Session TS-4588 which is all about analysing your I/O.

Have you ever wondered

• How much I/O does my program use?
• How much time is spent in I/O?
• Hot spots. What can be improved?
• Which handles are currently open?
• Where was a handle opened and closed?
• Why did a delete operation fail?
• Where and when was this file deleted?
• Was there some interference from external processes?

Well Pavel (my friend I have mentioned) has definetly wondered. A few months ago he came to me with a question whether I could assist him in implementing such a tool. A tool that will give us all this answers.
Generally my part was to implement the integration with Eclipse. A few views, a wizard, some actions, a nice perspective. And - this is the result


If you think such a tool could assist you visit JPicus home page.
It is still only free. But we are working on making it open ;)

And there is more on JPicus comming in the near future.
