DocumentationJava Profiler Knowledge BaseTroubleshooting: working with the profilerEclipse plugin is installed, but 'Profile' menu items are still disabled

Can't find your answer? Please refer to documentation and demos, ask your question in forum, or contact support.

• If you use a pre-released version of Eclipse (a milestone, a daily build etc.), please use the release version instead.
• Eclipse 3.2 only: make sure you have enabled the "Profile" action group in Eclipse under "Window | Customize Perspective | Commands"
• This can be an issue of Eclipse plugin caching. To clean up the cache, please restart Eclipse with -clean in the command line.

• Only if you use YourKit Java Profiler 5.x or older: make sure Eclipse PDE is installed.

  PDE can be absent if Eclipse was not installed from the entire Eclipse SDK (e.g. installed only Platform Runtime Binary + JDT). Without PDE, the plugin will not function. If needed, download PDE at http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/. Upgrading to YourKit Java Profiler 6.0 or newer will also help.
