Comment 2 Jiri Sedlacek 2007-06-26 10:57:47 UTC 
This problem is caused by the fact that Profiling Points can currently be inserted only into existing files. Since JDK 
sources are internally represented by AbstractFileObject without any mapping to real File instance, Profiling Points 
cannot be created there. BTW the cause is the same as for Issue 103885.

Fixed by disabling possibility to put Profiling Points to JDK classes. If it turns out that using Profiling Points in 
JDK classes would be useful, separate RFE should be filed.

Fixed for Beta1.
