will a javaagent version be developed?

will a javaagent version be developed? sleuth on spring boot has a lot of shortcomings, our team want to use javaagent to replace sleuth,so i want to rewriten sleuth to support javaagent. maybe i can contribute some bit.

sleuth on spring boot has a lot of shortcomings

what exactly do you mean?

[Jaware]

such as that if you need to monitor jdbc,use sleuth you have to write jpa,mybatis,spring data and so on,but using javaagent we only need to intercept jdbc jar,very easy.And also,when i want to trace dubbo, grpc or other new rpc frameworks,javaagent is easy too

[codefromthecrypt]

this isn't the best place to discuss a generic agent. you are basically asking where to find alternatives to sleuth, right. a more appropriate place is to look at zipkin proper where some work has been discussed in the past openzipkin/openzipkin.github.io#62
