I cannot find any help specifing how I should set instrumentation filter values or Quick filter values and what does mean 'Exclusive' or 'Inclusive'. I created an 'Exclusive' filter which points to global filters like 'java.*' but it seems profiler instrumented only java.* classes with this filter. I assume such filter should excludes these classes.
This in fact describes two separate issues: 1/ Global Filters dialog allows to enter invalid filter values. As the sign '*' isn't supported in instrumentation filters (and that's why the filter behaves differently than expected), it shouldn't be accepted. This is only checked in QuickFilter, not in GF dialog. 2/ There is no visible explanation what filter settings mean and how to construct new instrumentation filter.
Fixed part 1/. Added support for '*' sign at the end of instrumentation filter. Because the filter uses simple startsWith logic, this sign makes no change to results, it's simply removed before filter evaluation.
Fixed part 2/. QuickFilter dialog, FilterSets and GlobalFilters dialogs now contain simple description about setting the filters. Fixed for M10.
