Troubleshooting JDK5 applications

Josh recently pointed me to this very nice guide, which contains a very in-depth explanation of all the mechanisms available to JDK5 developres to troubleshoot and diagnose failures.  The document is 124 pages long, so I'm not sure if we should be happy or scared, but it's a very interesting read nevertheless.

Does using JDK 1.5 cause one to be so hyperproductive that the fabric of time is bent one year into the future? (your blog entry is dated next year) :-)

I code so fast that relativistic effects kick in.

Wow - all the info in one document. We'd been keeping internal wiki pages at work with links to bits and pieces of this sort of content. This is outstanding!

Thanks for sharing it.

Does anyone know if there is a Java 1.4 troubleshooting guide like this available? I'd love to drop it in our internal wiki since we're realistically locked into Java 1.4 for at least another 6-9 months.

In the past have referred to IBM JDK Diagnosis Guides for 1.3.1, 1.4.1, and 1.4.2 SDKs. Its helpful especially while working on WebSphere. Nice stuff about JVM internals, garbage collection etc. You can also email jvmcookbook@research.ibm.co.uk for further material. But I haven't seen similar stuff Sun pre-Tiger JDK. Great post Cedric!
