An Integrated Profiler

In NetBeans IDE 6 the profiler will no longer be a separate download and install - it is baked right in to the IDE. This is actually fairly old news - the first milestone build of NetBeans 6 that had this feature was Milestone 8, as Jiří Sedláček pointed out. But as usual, I am running behind on my blogging....

Jiří and I along with Jaroslav Bachorík did a technical session on integrated profiling tools at JavaOne earlier this year. Not surprisingly, we chose to use the NetBeans profiler for all our demos. The idea was to show that the advantages of an integrated profiler extend beyond just ease of installation and setup: you get better features too. For example, an easier way to choose which methods should be profiled.

If you missed our session at JavaOne you can download the presentation slides or even better, come to my session at Jazoon in Zurich. And if you happen to be in Zurich later this month, be sure to attend NetBeans Day Zurich. It is a free event, but you do have to register.
