This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Based on issue #109144. To start the profiler in a free-form project one should be able to specify different file than main Ant file (build.xml). All IDE-specific tasks are normally generated in nbproject/ide-targets.xml file, to make main build file IDE-agnostic. So it would be desirable to have the same option for profiler. Currently user is forced to add NetBeans-specific profiler task to main build file.

Are you sure it is duplicate of 111933? I must say I'm not able to understand what's 111933 about. It says about some problem with tutorial - I can't say if it is the same. Anyway, I will copy description of this issue into 111933.
