Description Kenneth Ganfield 2012-04-24 13:25:40 UTC 
When profiling a free-form project, it seems that the user is not prompted to specify the ant target. Dialog is not invoked and profiling fails.

There is currently this page. Is there an update?

Comment 2 J Bachorik 2012-04-24 19:25:56 UTC 
Can you attach the project exhibiting this problem? I can not reproduce it on my free-form projects.

The profile free-form project action is now tightly integrated with the IDE - just like debug project. That means that upon the first invocation of the profile action (note - you must invoke the profile action from menu; the same as the debug action) NB will offer you to generate the profiling snippet in the ide-file-targets.xml file and integrate the profile action into the project popup.

The free-form profiling should be described in http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqProfilerFreeForm72 - however, it is empty now. I will address this ASAP.
Comment 3 J Bachorik 2012-05-24 14:10:46 UTC 
I've updated the info about profiling j2se freeform projects. The final location is http://netbeans.org/kb/articles/freeform-config.html#profilej2se .

Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *201206050001* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress)
