Quest Software Inc. has released a freeware edition of its premier JavaTM development solution, Quest JProbe Profiler, a solution designed to help developers quickly diagnose performance bottlenecks in Java technology code.

Quest JProbe Profiler can help developers diagnose memory leaks, excessive garbage collection, threading issues and coverage deficiencies in their JavaTM 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EETM) and JavaTM 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SETM) applications.

The freeware download is available from the Quest Software Web site, where it is offered for Windows and Linux platforms and provides an important subset of the functionality included in the for-sale edition. Users of the freeware edition of JProbe Profiler will be able to easily upgrade to the fully licensed and supported JProbe Suite when they need greater diagnostic capabilities, technical support and maintenance.

META Group VP Thomas Murphy commented that "enabling distributed development and coordinating between business, development and operations requires a concerted focus by the Java community to enable interoperability and to compete effectively with .NET." Murphy suggested that a focus on improving both individual productivity and team collaboration would ensure continued market growth for JavaTM technology.

"We want to strengthen and expand the Java community by making our state-of-the-art Java performance profiling tools available to anyone, to encourage development of more professional-quality, high performing Java applications," said Larry Humphries, vice president of development solutions, Quest Software. "Quest Software has a long history of providing freeware versions of its leading software products to create communities and benefit IT in the enterprise. Quest Software is pleased to offer JProbe Profiler to the entire Java development community."

Quest JProbe Suite is part of the Quest Application Performance Management (APM) Suite for the J2EE platform, a comprehensive solution that delivers end-to-end business views and integrated, domain-centric tools for managing J2EE performance throughout the application lifecycle.
