Description alied 2015-09-06 21:12:51 UTC 
[ JDK VERSION : 1.8.0_45 ]

Currently the profiler allows to run instrumented profiling on selected
classes/methods. However the selection flow is one-by-one, which can be slow in
certain scenarios. It would be quicker to be allowed to select whole packages
(or upper level packages) as well as multiple classes at once.

ACTUAL:
   Classes/methods must be selected one by one involving several steps for each
one.
EXPECTED:
   select multiple classes/packages in a single step.
Comment 1 Jiri Sedlacek 2015-09-07 13:41:09 UTC 
Increasing to P2 because of limited support for surviving generations monitoring in the new profiler.
Comment 5 Jiri Sedlacek 2015-09-11 09:56:43 UTC 
Enabled multiselection in Select Class/Method dialog - only available for the rightmost list in this dialog (multiple classes of a package or multiple methods of a class can be selected).

Expert users can enable the 'Defined classes' mode for Methods/Objects profiling (Tools | Options | Java | Profiler | General) and use wildcards for selecting methods/classes/packages:

  org.mypackage.**        for all classes in package & subpackages
  org.mypackage.*         for all classes in package
  org.mypackage.MyClass   for single class

Will be available in 8.1.
