The profile package contains the api to implement an profiler for jruby. In the sub-package builtin you can find the profiler implementation shipped with jruby. To implement your own profiler implement the ProfilingService interface, add your implementation to the classpath an add the command line argument --profile.service my.impl.class Example Profiling Service Impl.

  private final ConcurrentMap<Long, String> methods = new ConcurrentHashMap<Long, String>(1000);
