Java applications are profiled/traced using the -XrunTAU
command-line parameter as shown below:
% cd tau/examples/java/pi % setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/tau/ solaris2/lib % java -XrunTAU Pi
Running the application generates profile files with names having the form profile.<node>.<context>.<thread>. These files can be analyzed using pprof or paraprof (see below).
