如何以编程方式使用Netbeans Profiler？

Question

I want to be able to do some profiling to some app using the Netbeans Profiler API. I'm not interested in using Visual VM , but rather in programmatically collecting data from the application[let's say CPU usage, and method execution times]. For instance, using CPU usage and hot methods. How to get that data and print it on console for instance?

Answer 1

This was from Jiri Sedlacek - one of the VisualVM develpers:

There's nothing like 'Netbeans Profiler API', the profiler doesn't have any API for public usage. Neither VisualVM nor the NetBeans Profiler will help you with this

So that's it folks!

Answer 2

JRockit Mission Control have according to new and noteworthy for the 3.1 release a public API that be used to subscribe to JMX-data and to establish connections to local/remote servers. See at the bottom of the page.

Answer 3

For the sake of providing the updated information: Netbeans is code is public under https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans

Under the module profiler, the code can be used for getting required information programmatically.
