Description vnicolici 2005-08-20 08:36:36 UTC
It would be nice to have a "View Stack Snapshot" or "View Stack Trace" button 
for each thread when doing thread monitoring. Or even a separate tab with the 
stack trace for each thread, updated by auto-refresh.

I recently had five threads that were running, and eating 100% of CPU, even 
though they should have been idle, and I was able to identify those threads 
after activating threads monitoring.

I was doing memory liveness profiling at the time, the running threads that 
should have been idle were the main thread, the OS - JVM signal dispatcher, 
and 3 user threads.

However, I didn't have any idea what those threads were doing (there were 
probably stuck in some kind of infinite loop), and I really missed a "view 
stack trace" option.

Agree, this would be a useful addition to the Threads view.

A thread dump can be taken at any time during a profiling session.
