.prof
in the project source directory (defined when you created the project).
The profile data file project-name.prof
is overwritten each time you run the program. To
save the data from a given run, rename it before
you run the program again.
You can manually
start the profiler by choosing Windows -> Profile Results from the main JDE menubar. Then
choose File -> Open in the Profile Display
window to load profile data for a particular project into
the display.
The top pane of the profiler window lists the names of all the methods (except those filtered out) in your program that were executed. When you select a method in any of the three panes, the names of methods that they in turn call and are called by are displayed in the bottom two panes. Information about those methods is displayed both graphically (as a bar graph) and numerically.
You can view three types of data about methods:
Self Times | The time (in milliseconds) spent in the body of the displayed method (does not include the time spent in methods called by this method) |
Cumulative Times | The time (in milliseconds) spent in the displayed method, in all methods called by the displayed method, in all methods called by those methods, and so on |
Call Counts | The number of times the method was called by any other methods |
