Profiling API

JProfiler provides a profiling API that allows you to control certain aspects of profiling at run time. The profiling API is contained in bin/agent.jar in your JProfiler installation. If the profiling API is used during a normal execution of your application, the API calls will just quietly do nothing.
For offline profiling, you will need to save a snapshot at some point in order to evaluate the data of the profiling run with JProfiler's GUI front end later on. The saveSnapshot method in JProfiler's profiling API does that job. For interactive use, this method call will do nothing.

In addition, you can optionally switch on CPU profiling a a suitable point and trigger heap dumps with the profiling API.
