Chires adds the rich power of JMX to ordinary applications by leveraging Aspect programming.
Our goals are to provide simple application transparency with as little overhead as possible
and absolutely no code changes. Among the important features are the ability to
get rough profiling of your application tiers, the ability to track the performance and
reliability of specific methods and the exposing of control for applicable configuration
paramaters for remote control.
We're looking for help in getting this project off the ground. Ping our mailing list if your interested!

Below is a picture of the first integration with MC4J. As you can see, the profiler component
of Chires is providing call structure information to MC4J over the wire and MC4J is providing
real-time updates of this call stack.

Testing
First download aspectwerkz 2.0 RC1 and JDK 1.5
Install both and update the aspectwerkz.home property in your ant.build.properties to
point at your aspectwerkz installation dir
Run 'ant dist' in the aspectwerkz directory
In the <aspectwerkz home>/lib directory, rename picolo*.jar to picolo*.jar.ignore
(This parser is not compatible with all sorts of stuff)
Run 'ant dist test' in the chires directory to build and start the tests
