Requirements: Netbeans 6.x or 7.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 Profile->Profile Main Project With JProfiler in Netbeans' main menu.
The profiled application is then started just as with the usual "Run" commands. If no instance of JProfiler is currently running, JProfiler is also started, otherwise the running instance of JProfiler will be used for presenting profiling data.
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.
You can also open JProfiler snapshots from Netbeans, either from the project window or the open file dialog in order to get source code navigation into Netbeans.
