Description Jesse Glick 2014-11-21 18:52:21 UTC 
20141110 a1f03f32b272. The Load Heap Dump menu items is missing from the Profile menu. org.netbeans.modules.profiler.heapwalker 1.101 is installed.

According to fe2255f92447 “Simplified Profile menu” (no issue link) this is perhaps intentional, but how then am I supposed to access this functionality? I have a dump from a user of my program (jmap -dump) which I need to analyze.

The online help seems to say nothing about the topic, other than linking to a web page which talks about the menu item that no longer exists.

I tried browsing to the file in the Favorites tab (where I had /tmp mounted) but just got #248816 so this did not help.

Use File->Open.

Make sure the user guide mentions that.
