If anyone ever needs to analyse Java thread dumps, Samurai is the Beez Neez. No more squinting at less.

I noticed that it also does heap analysis. Unfortunately it doesn't do CPU profiling... well from what I can see.

Have you come across any good FOSS Java 1.5 profilers? I was using the Eclipse colorer profiler for 1.4, but it falls over with 1.5.

Thanks,
Rob
