A button in toolbar to start, stop profiling. After turning on, the system starts to capture thread dumps from the running IDE. The user can work with the IDE, emulating the action which he knows is slow and then turn the self profiling off. At the moment the system generates standard NetBeans Profiler snapshot, shows it to the user and allows him to analyze it or attache it to issuezilla.

Also consider that the toolbar button can't be pressed when a modal dialog is opened. Make sure it also works with some keyboard shortcut...
fixed - http://hg.netbeans.org/profiler-main/rev/320053be0e8f The action gets Alt-Shift-Y shortcut. For modal dialogs there is a possibility to add "-J-Dorg.netbeans.modules.profiler.actions.SelfSamplerAction.sniff=true" when starting the IDE to be able to invoke the action using AltGr (the right alt key) - however, this option should be used with caution as it doesn't respect the IDE-wide shortcut configuration.
Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *200902050256* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/320053be0e8f User: Jaroslav Bachorik <yardus@netbeans.org> Log: #153221 - IDE SelfSampling capability - now with a shortcut
it's there - verified thanks
