VM developers who do the VM-side work for us need to be able to run some relatively complex tests with JFluid, without a need to bring up the GUI and press buttons in it. We can probably provide an initial version of such an offline testing tool by implementing a switch in the existing standalone tool that will make it immediately start a preconfigured test without bringing up the GUI, and shut down once the test program is finished.
Actually we need to do this for the automated tests as well, so I'd create a new separate testbed application that would control the profiler engine in a non-gui fashion (essentially a different impl of the Profiler class). Self assigning for now.
This is partially done in M6, the CLI tool exists and can be used to lauch the profiled app with certain instrumentation. However, working with results (specifically, saving for offline inspection via GUI and/or export into some sensible formats) waits for issues 53730, 51274 and 51542. Postponing till M7 for this reason.
The part to be done in 1.0 is done, remaining work is future.
