Integrating jprofiler into eclipse

Question

I can't integrate jprofiler 7 into Eclipse Indigo. Installation and integration completed successfully. But I can't find jprofiler in the Eclipse IDE or in Eclipse preference.

No problems in starting jprofiler, but it's just missing in my Eclipse installation.

Thanks :-)

which link did you follow for installing the JProfiler? – Socialistic

Answer 1

The "Profile" actions in eclipse are part of the eclipse infrastructure, they are not supplied by JProfiler.

I assume that the menu item Run->Profile ... does not exist in the Java perspective after you have run the integration in JProfiler (Session->IDE integrations).

In that case, you have to enable the "Profile" actions for this perspective under Window->Customize perspective by bringing the Command tab to front and selecting the "Profile" checkbox.

There is no profile menu item in the run menu. The profile option is selected in customize perspective. I have installed/removed eclipse/java/jprofiler. Tried to install different versions - 32bit vs. 64 bit. No wonder that my hair is going gray :) – Eyeopening

Answer 2

Refer to this installation and configuration guide for JProfiler: http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/home/documents/tutorials/profilingtool/profilingexample_32.html#1_0

The main idea is...after intergrating with JProfiler,

1. Select Window -> Customize Perspective -> choose the Command Groups Availability tab -> select the Profile checkbox and click ok.

2. Switch to the Profiling and Logging perspective by selecting Window > Open perspective > Other > Profiling and Logging. Click on the launch profiling button Launch profiling configuration icon and select Profile. In the Profile configuration dialog, double-click on Java Application. A new configuration is created and the details are shown in the right pane.
