If you want to profile your application, and TPTP or JProfiler aren't available to you, you can still use Netbeans.

Here is how:

Download & Install Netbeans + Netbeans Profiler (Netbeans 6 M9 already includes the profiler, but it may have a few ).

Start Netbeans and from the menu choose: Profiler > Advanced Commands > Run Profiler Calibration

In your WO development environment of choice:

Add the following to your VM arguments when you start your wo application:

(Note you need to be using JDK 1.5 for this to work)

For Netbeans 5.5 + Profiler

-agentpath:"/Applications/NetBeans.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/profiler1/lib/deployed/jdk15/mac/libprofilerinterface.jnilib"="/Applications/NetBeans.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/profiler1/lib",5140

For Netbeans 6 M9

-agentpath:"/Applications/NetBeans 6.0 M9.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans 6.0 M9/profiler2/lib/deployed/jdk15/mac/libprofilerinterface.jnilib"="/Applications/NetBeans 6.0 M9.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans 6.0 M9/profiler2/lib",5140

(You will need to modify the path to suit your platform)

Start your WO app.. it should sit there waiting for the profiler to attach.

(I use |> (Run) in Eclipse)

In Netbeans:

Select Profile > Attach Profiler...

In the attach wizard set Target as follows:

Target type = Application

Attach method = Local

Attach invocation = Direct

Select the configuration you wish to analyze

Click >>Attach

Your should now be profiling your application in realtime.

Netbeans 6 is a little hit and miss at times, but 5.5 seems to work ok.
