This report is useless until you provide
1) steps how to reproduce it
2) version of profiler you are using
3) message.log

I do not have any special steps to reproduce. Just to start profiling of a j2ee
application with jboss 4.0.3, mostly cpu profiling, entire application, exclude
java codes, without server startup.

Last version of 5.5 profiler (according to issue Version). I have seen it on
solaris amd64 and linux x86, jdk 1.5.0_06.

message.log contains always only:

IDEAppStatusHandler - error: Redefinition failed with error 62
Check JVMTI documentation for this error code.

message log

I have seen it again:

jdk 1.5.0_09 b1, jboss 4.0.4 GA

CPU profiling, part of application

JBOss log fragment:

Where should it be placed? I cannot find it on fs. I reinstalled ide afterwards.

I have reproduced it again.

Can be easily reproduced on the following test class:
------------------------------
public class Main {
    Object f;
    
    void test() {
        System.out.println("Test");
    }
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new Main().foo();
    }
    
    void foo() {
        if (f!=null) {
          Main m = new Main();
          
          try {
              test();
          } finally {
              m.f=null;
          }
        }
    }    
}
-------------------------------

Note that the class _must_ compiled by jikes.

Fixed in trunk.
