I really need to profile my program, and the Java profilers I've tried in
the past with Groovy were not very helpful. So, I was happy to see GProf
and thought I would try it out.
The documentation doesn't tell you what you need to import to set it up.
I decided that I needed to import groovyx.gprof.ProfileStaticExtension
I tried the profile { ...}.prettyPrint() syntax that the example used, and
the profile seemed to be run, but the pretttyprint failed when it tried to
sort the output with a no such method error for java.lang.Long.compare(JJ).
That seemed an odd sort of error unless I am using the wrong version of
the package, and I am pretty sure I am using the right one (I am using
groovy 2.1.6) I'm using Eclipse, and we are not using a separate build
system like ant but just using the regular Eclipse build system.
Has anybody out there used GProf and can advise me?
