Samurai Review

Samurai quickly points out threads that are deadlocked with a red color and a unique icon. Making it easy to spot them.

There's not much to the interface itself, it's quite intuitive. It can be easily gotten used to just by clicking around.

Samurai's pretty easy to use, you just open a text file with one or more thread dumps and it will do the analysis for you.

Samurai comes as a single .jar file which is downloaded and can be run with java -jar samurai.jar.

When analyzing multiple thread dumps, Samurai will try to find transactions spanning multiple threads and highlights them in red, making it easier for the user to see and click on them in order to investigate further.
