Requirements: Netbeans 4.x, 5.x or 6.x.
Reminder: Please close Netbeans while performing the module installation. If you are performing the installation from JProfiler's setup wizard, please complete the entire setup first before starting Netbeans.
A file selection box will then prompt you to locate the installation directory of Netbeans. In the next step, you are asked whether the installation should be performed globally, or for a single user only. A single user installation is mostly of interest in network installations where the user cannot write to the Netbeans installation directory. If you decide for a single user installation, another file selection box will then prompt you to locate your Netbeans user directory. This is a version-specific directory under .netbeans in your user home directory.The Netbeans updater is then invoked and the module is installed. After acknowledging the completion message, you can start Netbeans and check whether the installation was successful. You should now see a menu entry JProfiler top-level menu in Netbeans' main menu.
The profiled application is then started just as with the usual "Run" commands. When a profiling session is started, a new tab with a JProfiler window is created.
Profiling sessions are closed by closing the corresponding tab. Apart from the excluded tool bar buttons for "Attach/Detach" and "Session settings", the JProfiler window and its views are exactly the same as in the standalone version.
All profiling settings and view settings changes are persistent across session restarts.
When JProfiler is used with the Netbeans integration, the "Show source" action for a class or a method in one of JProfiler's view will show the source element in Netbeans and not in JProfiler's integrated source code viewer.
