Add capability to profile the project and test

[mam0nth]

This is to request to add a plugin capability of profiling the project and per test file.

Currently it is only possible to attach the profiler manually. This is of course, isn't enough if the process won't wait for manual attach (which is usually the case for tests).

Since, there is no standard way to provide jvm arguments from the command line for the started process, I'll probably need to add a task like "profileNetBeans" in the init script.

Please take a look on what maven plugin execute when you run "Profile Test" and there is no configuration in pom.

I think, there is not too much developers is waiting for this feature.

Any progress on this feature request? I am in need of profiling a gradle project and the only way for me to do it is to get rid of the gradle.build script and change the project into a standard NetBeans project. This requires linking all necessary jars by hand which obviously is a pain.

I think a pull request is appreciated ;)

If I remember correctly, I needed the pid of the started process, something I cannot access. However, I personally workaround the issue by manually connecting the profiler to the process. That is still possible, you don't need to create a new standard NB project. Though, if someone knows the NB API better than me, just point me there and I can add this feature.
