DocumentationJava Profiler 9.0 HelpProbes: extendable profiling and monitoringProbe classesCompiling probe classes

After you have written your probe classes, compile them with Java compiler (javac) as regular Java classes.

Please add yjp.jar to the compiler class path to make classes in package com.yourkit.probe accessible.

Unlike compile time, you do not need to add yjp.jar to class path in runtime. All necessary classes in com.yourkit.probe will be automatically loaded by the profiler agent.

Optionally, you can put compiled classes to a JAR file. The probe classes are self-explanatory, so there is no need in any additional description in the JAR file manifest.
