Eclipse's TPTP on OSX

On the Eclipse TPTP web site, there are instructions on how to install this profiler. Here they are: http://eclipse.org/tptp/home/downloads/4.7.0/documents/installguide/InstallGuide.html

But the Agent that is required for the tool is only available for Linux and Windows. I run Eclipse on a Mac. Here are my questions:

  1. Is there an OSX distribution?
  2. Is there a build-from-source way to do it?
  3. Is this agent mandatory? Can't TPTP connect directly to the JVM as JProfiler does?

Thanks for your help.

Solution

  • As pointed out by greg-449, TPTP is now shelved. A lot of people have reported that TPTP is not working on OSX, and based on this, it's not planned to be fixed in the future.

    As for me I have purchased a license for JProfiler.
