he Eclipse Test & Performance Tools Platform (TPTP) Profiling tool can be used to profile Eclipse plug-ins, local Java(TM) applications or complex applications running on multiple hosts and different platforms. The tool is tightly integrated with Eclipse, allowing profiling of applications running from within Eclipse. This article demonstrates how to use the TPTP Profiling tool to profile a Java application for identifying execution related hot spots. It shows how to start the profiling session, use the various TPTP views to analyze the data, identify methods with high execution time then jump to the source code to fix the performance problem.

Callisto includes a powerful profiling tool called the Eclipse Test & Performance Tools Platform, or TPTP. TPTP provides a comprehensive suite of open source performance-testing and profiling tools, including integrated application monitoring, testing, tracing and profiling functionalities, and static-code analysis tools. Profiling tools are invaluable aids for localizing and identifying performance issues in all sorts of Java applications. In this article, we will look at how you can use TPTP to guarantee high-quality and high-performance code, even during unit and integration testing.
