Java Eclipse RCP Profiler

Question

I'd like to profile my Eclipse RCP application.

In the past I've used JVM Monitor , but this does not seem compatible with the latest version of Eclipse (>4.9) - it's a shame because this worked really well within Eclipse.

I've tried VisualVM , which looks ok - but doesn't appear to work with RCP applications when I tried (and it seems I'm not the only one ).

So - what is the most popular (free) profiler that I could be using? I need to be able to break down timings by methods.

Thanks!

I've since tried VisualVM again and it does appear to work with RCP applications IF you start it first. It's a shame it's not integrated closer to Eclipse, but it gives me the answers I need.
