'External process' should not be in the list of the projects to profile.
Actually the External process should be available, but should open the profiling session in Attach mode. Fixed by http://hg.netbeans.org/profiler-main/rev/e58e3c7ca6e6.
Integrated into 'main-silver', will be available in build *201504201004* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main-silver/rev/e58e3c7ca6e6 User: Jiri Sedlacek <jis@netbeans.org> Log: Bugfix #251687 - use Attach profiler when profiling External process
