Sun to add JFluid profiling tool to Java Studio
According to Infoworld,
JFluid is a "profiling" tool, software that examines Java applications and informs developers of potential performance bottlenecks in their code. It was developed by a team lead by Misha Dmitriev, who was transferred from Sun Labs to the software group last week, according to a statement on Sun's Web site. Which makes me wonder about performance tools in IDEs. On the one hand, performance can be an important factor in software development, and educating programmers about performance isn't such a bad idea. On the other hand, performance considerations are often abused ('the root of all evil,' and all that). So what kind of performance tools do we really want inside our IDEs? How is the answer effected by the type of programming language language considered? How about IDEs targeting students (DrScheme etc.)? |
