When launching this command, you should see on your console a message saying: So the java command line of the application to profile should look something like: java -agentpath:'C:Program FilesNetBeans 6.7.1profiler3libdeployedjdk16windowsprofilerinterface.dll'='C:Program FilesNetBeans 6.7.1profiler3lib,5140' MyApp param1 param2 On Linux, it is exactly the same, just look for the right path containing the profiler3 folder. Keep 5140, it is the port on which the application will listen for a remote profiler session (that you can also perform locally, as in this tutorial).

Replace the portion “C:Program FilesNetBeans 6.7.1profiler3” by the correct path (located where you installed Netbeans). On windows, the argument to add is of the form: -agentpath:'C:Program FilesNetBeans 6.7.1profiler3libdeployedjdk16windowsprofilerinterface.dll'='C:Program FilesNetBeans 6.7.1profiler3lib,5140' You just have to add an argument to the Java VM. Step 2: Modify the command line that runs the java application that you want to profile/monitor If you want to profile a program running on a remote machine(s), you’ll have to download/install it on each machine. All the bundles contain the profiler so I choose the lightest one: the JavaSE.

It was simply the easiest and unified solution adapted to all the different settings I ever met, including profiling java applications that (i) were not developed under netbeans (ii) were only in the form of standalone jar (iii) were running on a remote Linux machine for which no X server were running (i.e. My preference goes definitely to the integrated Netbeans profiler. I have tested a lot of those open source profiler.
