如果java有更好的功能支持就好了，这样需要测量的动作就可以被包装到一个块中:

measure {
   // your operation here
}

在java中，这可以通过匿名函数来完成，看起来太冗长了

public interface Timer {
    void wrap();
}


public class Logger {

    public static void logTime(Timer timer) {
        long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
        timer.wrap();
        System.out.println("" + (System.currentTimeMillis() - start) + "ms");
    }

    public static void main(String a[]) {
        Logger.logTime(new Timer() {
            public void wrap() {
                // Your method here
                timeConsumingOperation();
            }
        });

    }

    public static void timeConsumingOperation() {
        for (int i = 0; i<=10000; i++) {
           System.out.println("i=" +i);
        }
    }
}

下面是打印好的字符串，格式化后的秒数，类似于谷歌搜索所需的时间:

        long startTime = System.nanoTime();
        //  ... methodToTime();
        long endTime = System.nanoTime();
        long duration = (endTime - startTime);
        long seconds = (duration / 1000) % 60;
        // formatedSeconds = (0.xy seconds)
        String formatedSeconds = String.format("(0.%d seconds)", seconds);
        System.out.println("formatedSeconds = "+ formatedSeconds);
        // i.e actual formatedSeconds = (0.52 seconds)

nanotime()是一个非常精确的系统实用程序，用于测量执行时间。但是要注意，如果运行在抢占式调度器模式(默认)，这个实用程序实际上测量的是时钟时间，而不是CPU时间。因此，您可能会注意到每次运行的执行时间值是不同的，这取决于系统负载。如果您需要CPU时间，我认为在实时模式下运行您的程序就可以了。您必须使用RT linux。链接:使用Linux进行实时编程

您可以使用Metrics库，它提供了各种测量工具。添加依赖关系:

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>io.dropwizard.metrics</groupId>
        <artifactId>metrics-core</artifactId>
        <version>${metrics.version}</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

并为您的环境配置它。

方法可以用@Timed进行注释:

@Timed
public void exampleMethod(){
    // some code
}

或者用Timer包装的一段代码:

final Timer timer = metricsRegistry.timer("some_name");
final Timer.Context context = timer.time();
// timed code
context.stop();

聚合的指标可以导出到控制台、JMX、CSV或其他。

@定时指标输出示例:

com.example.ExampleService.exampleMethod
             count = 2
         mean rate = 3.11 calls/minute
     1-minute rate = 0.96 calls/minute
     5-minute rate = 0.20 calls/minute
    15-minute rate = 0.07 calls/minute
               min = 17.01 milliseconds
               max = 1006.68 milliseconds
              mean = 511.84 milliseconds
            stddev = 699.80 milliseconds
            median = 511.84 milliseconds
              75% <= 1006.68 milliseconds
              95% <= 1006.68 milliseconds
              98% <= 1006.68 milliseconds
              99% <= 1006.68 milliseconds
            99.9% <= 1006.68 milliseconds

使用分析器(JProfiler, Netbeans profiler, Visual VM, Eclipse profiler等)。您将得到最准确的结果，并且是最少的干扰。它们使用内置的JVM机制进行概要分析，还可以为您提供额外的信息，如堆栈跟踪、执行路径以及必要时更全面的结果。

当使用完全集成的分析器时，对方法进行分析是非常简单的。右击，分析器->添加到根方法。然后像运行测试运行或调试器一样运行剖析器。

把所有可能的方法都集中在一个地方。

Date

Date startDate = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();
long d_StartTime = new Date().getTime();
Thread.sleep(1000 * 4);
Date endDate = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();
long d_endTime = new Date().getTime();
System.out.format("StartDate : %s, EndDate : %s \n", startDate, endDate);
System.out.format("Milli = %s, ( D_Start : %s, D_End : %s ) \n", (d_endTime - d_StartTime),d_StartTime, d_endTime);

System.currentTimeMillis（）

long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
Thread.sleep(1000 * 4);
long endTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
long duration = (endTime - startTime);  
System.out.format("Milli = %s, ( S_Start : %s, S_End : %s ) \n", duration, startTime, endTime );
System.out.println("Human-Readable format : "+millisToShortDHMS( duration ) );

人类可读格式

public static String millisToShortDHMS(long duration) {
    String res = "";    // java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
    long days       = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toDays(duration);
    long hours      = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toHours(duration) -
                      TimeUnit.DAYS.toHours(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toDays(duration));
    long minutes    = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(duration) -
                      TimeUnit.HOURS.toMinutes(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toHours(duration));
    long seconds    = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(duration) -
                      TimeUnit.MINUTES.toSeconds(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(duration));
    long millis     = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMillis(duration) - 
                      TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMillis(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(duration));

    if (days == 0)      res = String.format("%02d:%02d:%02d.%04d", hours, minutes, seconds, millis);
    else                res = String.format("%dd %02d:%02d:%02d.%04d", days, hours, minutes, seconds, millis);
    return res;
}

Stopwatch的一个对象是测量以纳秒为单位的时间。

com.google.common.base.Stopwatch g_SW = Stopwatch.createUnstarted();
g_SW.start();
Thread.sleep(1000 * 4);
g_SW.stop();
System.out.println("Google StopWatch  : "+g_SW);

Apache Commons LangJAR «StopWatch为计时提供了方便的API。

org.apache.commons.lang3.time.StopWatch sw = new StopWatch();
sw.start();     
Thread.sleep(1000 * 4);     
sw.stop();
System.out.println("Apache StopWatch  : "+ millisToShortDHMS(sw.getTime()) );

乔达时间

public static void jodaTime() throws InterruptedException, ParseException{
    java.text.SimpleDateFormat ms_SDF = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss.SSS");
    String start = ms_SDF.format( new Date() ); // java.util.Date

    Thread.sleep(10000);

    String end = ms_SDF.format( new Date() );       
    System.out.println("Start:"+start+"\t Stop:"+end);

    Date date_1 = ms_SDF.parse(start);
    Date date_2 = ms_SDF.parse(end);        
    Interval interval = new org.joda.time.Interval( date_1.getTime(), date_2.getTime() );
    Period period = interval.toPeriod(); //org.joda.time.Period

    System.out.format("%dY/%dM/%dD, %02d:%02d:%02d.%04d \n", 
        period.getYears(), period.getMonths(), period.getDays(),
        period.getHours(), period.getMinutes(), period.getSeconds(), period.getMillis());
}

Duration对象表示两个Instant对象之间的一段时间。

Instant start = java.time.Instant.now();
    Thread.sleep(1000);
Instant end = java.time.Instant.now();
Duration between = java.time.Duration.between(start, end);
System.out.println( between ); // PT1.001S
System.out.format("%dD, %02d:%02d:%02d.%04d \n", between.toDays(),
        between.toHours(), between.toMinutes(), between.getSeconds(), between.toMillis()); // 0D, 00:00:01.1001 

Spring Framework提供了StopWatch实用程序类来测量Java中的运行时间。

StopWatch sw = new org.springframework.util.StopWatch();
sw.start("Method-1"); // Start a named task
    Thread.sleep(500);
sw.stop();

sw.start("Method-2");
    Thread.sleep(300);
sw.stop();

sw.start("Method-3");
    Thread.sleep(200);
sw.stop();

System.out.println("Total time in milliseconds for all tasks :\n"+sw.getTotalTimeMillis());
System.out.println("Table describing all tasks performed :\n"+sw.prettyPrint());

System.out.format("Time taken by the last task : [%s]:[%d]", 
        sw.getLastTaskName(),sw.getLastTaskTimeMillis());

System.out.println("\n Array of the data for tasks performed « Task Name: Time Taken");
TaskInfo[] listofTasks = sw.getTaskInfo();
for (TaskInfo task : listofTasks) {
    System.out.format("[%s]:[%d]\n", 
            task.getTaskName(), task.getTimeMillis());
}

输出:

Total time in milliseconds for all tasks :
999
Table describing all tasks performed :
StopWatch '': running time (millis) = 999
-----------------------------------------
