create jvm-profiling-tools/jbang-catalog

[maxandersen]

At the moment we have jbang aliases for jvm-profling-tools/ap-loader with a jbang-catalog.

Means that you need to do jbang <alias>@jvm-profiling-tools/ap-loader for everything.

If there was a jvm-profling-tools/jbang-catalog repo we could shorten this to just: jbang <alias>@jvm-profiling-tools

shorter and easier to remember imo.

wdyt?

@jvm-profiling-tools/administrators what do you think? I don't have a problem with it.

IIUC, you propose creating a separate repository under jvm-profiling-tools org to hold jbang aliases for jattach, async-profiler and related tools.

I'm always happy to see more ways to facilitate adoption of async-profiler and friends, however, I find it a bit confusing to do it this way. If we are talking about accessing profiler commands via jbang, isn't it counterintuitive to connect them through an external location, which is neither a home for jbang nor for the profiler? Currently, jbang-catalog is at least tied with ap-loader that provides those commands. But when it becomes a separate repository, it will no longer be tightly connected with the project, making maintenance unobvious and complicated.

Good point. I'll close this issue.

Just note - the maintanence is close to zero as the alias point to the latest.

If there ever was a need to maintain more often it could be easily automated.
