NetBeans Profiler Beta (Milestone 5) Released
The Profiler is an add-on to NetBeans 4.0 or 4.1 and adds a fully featured
CPU, memory and threads profiling capabilities, tightly integrated into the
IDE workflow. New in Milestone 5:
* Remote profiling: this long-awaited feature allows you to profile
applications running on machines different from the one that 
runs the Profiler.
* Greatly improved Attachment UI and Jps Technology utilization. 
Now it's much easier to choose attachment method and the VM you 
want to attach.
* Integration Wizards for most popular Application Servers.
* More detailed and much better structured online documentation.
* Smaller improvements and a number of bugs fixed.
