The NetBeans Profiler is a powerful tool that provides important information about the runtime behavior of your application. This tutorial will show you how to use the Profiler (Milestone 6) with NetBeans 4.0 to monitor the runtime behavior of a web application, determine the CPU time used by an application's methods, and monitor the creation of objects by an application.

This tutorial outlines how you can take advantage Ant support to integrate other J2EE server vendors into the IDE. For J2EE development, the J2EE support in NetBeans 4.1 does most of the leg work for you, really leaving you to worry about generating the vendor specific deployment descriptors. I show you how to use XDoclet to generate the these descriptors. For J2EE deployment, I provide example Ant tasks that show you how to integrate other J2EE server into the IDE. For this example, I use the JBoss application server and for comparison I've recreated the Fibonacci Application used in their IDE tutorial.
