During the first steps of a remote profiling phase, NetBeans says "Connecting to the target VM". I have lost few *hours* today, while not understanding why I could not connect to a target VM, and finally, I have discovered NetBeans was going through the proxy to reach the target machine. I was not expecting NetBeans to go through the proxy (to be clearer, I have forgotten the proxy effect). I suggest to add to "profiler troubleshooting doc" and/or "profiler FAQ" the fact, if one could not connect to a target VM, it may be caused by the proxy configuration and the user is invited to check that configuration.
