Bytecode Instrumentation Profiling Toolkit for Java

Operating system: Linux®, Windows®. (Other operating systems should work but are little tested.)

Software:

• Eclipse 3.1
• Eclipse TPTP 4
• IBM Rational Agent Controller for dynamic instrumentation
• Eclipse TPTP Probekit (for samples)

Agent side:

• Windows, Linux, or AIX®
• Eclipse TPTP agent controller

Client side:

• Eclipse 3.1
• Eclipse TPTP 4

Installation is two-sided: The first side involves code instrumentation; the second side involves analyzing the code.

1. Create a Java™ project.
2. Import the included sample Probekit probes and add the Biptk.jar to the project""s build path. Now you have your instrumentation console.
3. In order to deploy instrumented code, you must replace the original JAR files with instrumented JAR files and add the following to the JVM classpath:
• the Biptk.jar file
• the probes
4. The analysis side must be installed by copying the included biptk.visualizer plug-in.
