Hi Tim, Is the Java Microbenchmark Harness (JMH) already available in Debian? If so, why do we need Caliper?
The general consensus (OK, admittedly it's a small sample size) seems to be that JMH is better: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/mechanical-sympathy/m4opvy4xq3U/7lY8x8SvHgwJ - it's reasonably easy to use and seems more likely to be correct than Caliper. This is all pretty anecdotal but a product could do worse than having an endorsement from Java performance expert Martin Thompson. If you have existing tests or a project depends on Caliper, then those are certainly valid reasons to package it. But if you're writing new tests and this is for personal use, then I'd suggest considering JMH instead.
