Comment 0 for bug 1286895

I'd like, not only to trace the java process, but use the new support for openjdk tracing in systemtap, both the hotspot tracing and the method tracing.

Accordingly i installed the ddebs.ubuntu.com[1] repository to install the kernel debuging symbols - i can then call a stap script that uses kernel tapsets but not yet java ones. I did notice a package called openjdk-7-jdk-dbgsym and tried to install it to see if this had the systemtap tapsets for the openjdk, but this conflicts with the openjdk-7-dbg package (which then ubuntu doesn't let me bug report since the openjdk-7-jdk-dbgsym package is not from the 'official' servers). And if i uninstall that one and install the other it doesn't help anyway.

If the steps i followed to try to get systemtap java method tracing in ubuntu were incorrect and this can be done with packages from your reporsitories, feel free to close.
