My open-source java swt game client works great in Windows and Mac, but under Linux it's thread deadlocking. Does anyone know any tools they'd recommend for diagnosing a thread deadlock? I don't have access to a Linux box, so I'd be needing someone else to run the tool and send me the results.

Thanks!

You could try jstack to get a complete thread dump.

I use VisualVM quite a bit but I've never used it for diagnosing threads. If Edward_Lii is recommending jstack then I'll recommend VisualVM since it uses jstack anyways.

I'd ask this question on www.stackoverflow.com where there is an overflow (pun intended) of Java expertise.
