Description matusdekanek 2009-09-29 10:04:48 UTC 
Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200909221401)
Java: 1.6.0_12; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 11.2-b01
System: SunOS version 5.10 running on sparc; ISO646-US; en (nb)

the ide is installed and the profiler has been already calibrated with default platform (j 1.6)
-create 'anagram game' sample project
-build it (java 1.6 platform)
-invoke 'attach profiler' in the main menu
-on the bottom of the dialog press 'define' (settings) link
-in the dialog select the 'anagram game' as the appplication and continue trough dialog
On the page with java platforms is selected java 1.5, though the jdk1.5 is not installed on my system, it is not the
default platform for netbeans and the anagram game project is not using it. 

One could easily miss this setting, and the result (error message mentioning incorrect java platform) might be a bit
confusing.

I do not remember this behaviour on windows as far as I remember.

Attach Wizard is primarily used for attaching the profiler to applications started outside of the IDE, either locally or
remotely. There's no relation between Attach Wizard and Java platforms installed in the IDE.

Each setting in the wizard is important, if you miss any of them the profiling may not work. If you want the profiler to
use project settings for profiling, use Profile Project action.
