## What
What's a thread dump and why might I want one? [well put](http://www.ateam-oracle.com/analyzing-thread-dumps-in-middleware-part-1-2/)
> A Thread Dump is a brief snapshot in textual format of threads within a Java Virtual Machine (JVM). This is equivalent to process dump in the native world. Data about each thread including the name of the thread, priority, thread group, state (running/blocked/waiting/parking) as well as the execution stack in form of thread stack trace is included in the thread dump. All threads the Java VM threads (GC threads/scavengers/monitors/others) as well as application and server threads are all included in the dump. Newer versions of JVMs also report blocked thread chains (like ThreadA is locked for a resource held by ThreadB) as well as deadlocks (circular dependency among threads for locks).
## Go support
Parse a thread dump from the /api/support endpoint of [go](https://github.com/gocd/gocd).
Last I looked was produced by [ThreadInformationProvider](https://github.com/gocd/gocd/blob/master/server/src/com/thoughtworks/go/server/service/support/ThreadInformationProvider.java).
Used hunting performance troubles.

### Thoughts of others
* [Structured dumping enabling better tooling](http://www.outerthoughts.com/threaddumps/thread_dumps.html) In this case XML, XLST and graphviz.
### Scala.js limitations
* No scalatest execution in intellij [scalatest #743](https://github.com/scalatest/scalatest/issues/743)
