I am evaluating Devpartner for Java, Borland's Optimizeit, and Quest's
JProbe.  Anyone want to chime in, especially strengths and weaknesses of
devPartner?

You may want to take a look at the tools (in beta) at

Follow the link to publicBeta.html at the bottom of the home page.

Take a look at YourKit Java Profiler (http://www.yourkit.com).
It's a greate piece of software. BTW, you will be
really surprised by the price.

I helped beta some previous versions of DevPartner, and found it a
fairly good package.  The biggest problem we had was platform
compatibility - we do our nightlies with ANt on a linux box, and
development on both Macintosh Powerbooks and PC laptops.  DevPartner did
not work on the Mac machines, so several of our clients went with
OptimizeIt instead.

I found the code lint tool in DevPartner to be quite compelling.  
Checking code against the Effective Java points was rather neat.  I
suspect that an ant task and a Mac build might get them in the door at
one of my clients.

Of late, I have become fond of JProfiler.  Cross platform, effective,
and pretty slick.
