Oprofile supports Java (see: http://oprofile.sourceforge.net/doc/setup-jit.html) or at least it did some years ago when I used it for the last time. However, depending on your Linux distro, it may be tricky to set up Oprofile (as far as I know, current version of Ubuntu >=12 don't support Oprofile anx more).

Regards, Volker

Andrew,

I want to have good metrics related to java code (not native) so I need a java profiler. maybe dtrace could be another candidate but I don't know how to use it on my linux 64 machine. Laurent

For low overhead profiling it's hard to beat oprofile. Linux only. Andrew.
