The NetBeans Profiler can profile applications when they are run in a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that supports the JVM Tool Interface (JVMTI). Sun's JDK 5, update 4 (and higher), supports JVMTI. Unlike the NetBeans IDE, the NetBeans Profiler includes binary code. This is needed to communicate with the JVMTI support in the JVM. As a result, the NetBeans Profiler support is platform specific. The supported platforms are listed below.
