Description

https://github.com/applandinc/appmap#function-attributes

On exiting a run, a file Inventory.appmap.json should be created. This file should contain comment and source for each function in the classMap. For reference, see appmap-ruby (e.g. for RSpec) which already implements this behavior.

Research direction

Start with the Java agent's run-exit handling and the code that writes Inventory.appmap.json, then compare its classMap generation with the referenced appmap-ruby RSpec behavior. The work is done when each function includes comment and source attributes in the generated inventory file and the relevant output is verified.
