[ BUILD # : 200808201401 ] [ JDK VERSION : 1.6.0_07 ] In an attempt to profile the IDE for performance issues, When I launched the Profiler for attaching to an existing Java 6 process, the IDE cannot be found. Assuming this could be a "Cannot see myself on purpose" issue I attempted to launch a second NB instance. The second instance was terminated before startup. So it appears that you cannot profile the IDE at this time.
You cannot profile itself. Profiling another instance works-for-me.
It would be nice to profile another instance; however, I was unable to launch a second instance of NB 6.5 to profile the first instance. In multiple attempts, the second instance terminates before the Splash Screen is displayed. Similarly, I was unable to attach using VirtualVM 1.0 in subsequent attempts. Would these issues therefore be separate issues to submit, or are these indicative of a situation imposed by the NB Runtime.
If you want to run 2 instance of NetBeans they have to have different userdirs.
