Description Ivan Sidorkin 2007-02-05 09:17:04 UTC

profiler build 070205
jdk1.6

- delete .nbprofiler and .netbeans
- run IDE 
- start AnagramGame sample project outside ide using jdk 1.6.0
- try dynamically attach to the application, use CPU profiling all classes, entire
application
- got Information message that profiler will stop because calibration wasn't done
- press OK button

It will be nice to start calibration automatically

Automatic calibration already works for Profile Project (== direct attach). I'm 
not sure if it's correct to allow it also for dynamic attach - this method is 
used for connecting to already running applications (in production 
environment) - either these application need to be somehow suspended to run the 
calibration without additional application overhead or the calibration data 
would be incorrect. I think that neither of the cases is correct.

A solution might be to detect which JDK is running the application and start 
another instance of the JDK on background just for calibration. But I'm not 
sure if it's possible.

It's strange but when I perform direct attach to NB (=external application) and there is no calibration data, no
automatic calibration is performed.
