The following program when profiled will (correctly) show time spent within the testOverlap(ArrayList b,InnerClass o) method. 

However, when clicking "go to source" on this method within the profiling results you are taken instead to the method testOverlap(HashSet b, InnerClass o). 

This appears to have something to do with having the InnerClass in the signature as removing that/making it not an inner class removes the problem.

Both static and non static methods seem to show the problem. I first became aware of this problem in Netbeans 8, but that may be coincidence.



public class ProfileTest {

    
    private boolean testOverlap(ArrayList b,InnerClass o){
        
        return true;
        
    }
    

    
    private boolean testOverlap(HashSet b, InnerClass o){
        return true;
        
    }
    
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ProfileTest p=new ProfileTest();
        
         p.testOverlap(new ArrayList(),new InnerClass());
    }
    

    private static class InnerClass{
        
    }
    
    
}
