Why won't the VisualVM Profiler profile my application?
- by Luke
I've created a simple 1 file java application that iterates through a loop, calls some functions, allocates some memory, adds some numbers, etc. I run that application via eclipse's Run As->Java Application.
The running application shows up in Java VisualVM under Local.
I double click on that application and go to the Profiler tab.
The default settings are:
Start profiling from classes: my.main.package.**
Do not profile classes: java.*, javax.*,
sun.*, sunw.*, com.sun.*
I click on CPU. The CPU and Memory buttons gray out. Nothing happens.
The Status says profiling inactive.
When my application terminates the Status says application terminated.
What am I doing wrong here? Are there some settings I need to tweak? Do I need to set a VM flag when I launch my application?
