spy

A simple java trace utility

Requirements

1. Lein
2. JDK 1.6

Usage

• Checkout into a directory (say spy) -- mvn install:install-file -Dfile=tools.jar -DgroupId=com.sun -DartifactId=tools -Dversion=1.6.0 -Dpackaging=jar

• project.clj: point tools.jar to the one in your JDK

• Change .spy.clj

  • Change :host and :port to point to the remote debug session
  • Set :classes to the base package of the classes to trace
  • Optionally, change exclude-classes list to packages/classes you want to exclude from trace

• Start repl (in the shell): spy$ bin/lein repl

• Start spy: spy=> (spy)

  This is assuming remote debug session is already started with jvm args -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=<port-number>

• Show trace (and stop spy): spy=> (gui)

• Exit with Ctrl-C
