Hi Jonathan.  I have to admit not having that much experience with Java benchmarking frameworks so I will defer to you on the matter of the suitability of different libraries.

I'm not an expert either, having not used either JMH or Caliper, I'm just an interested party :-)

 

I’m in the process of trying to package the Dropwizard Metrics library (https://github.com/dropwizard/metrics) which is actually a dependency for Dropwizard itself, and Caliper is a dependency for the metrics library.  I agree that it would be nice to avoid duplicating functionality in the Debian archive but in this case I don’t think there is a way around it right now.

Fair enough, if it's required as a dependency then there's no way around things. I suppose the choice of Caliper vs JMH might be useful to raise with upstream, but as Debian package maintainers, there's not much we can (or should) do :-)

Warm wishes,

Jonathan
