[jbosstools-dev] Question on ASTools profiling

[Rob Stryker]

This is mostly a question for Snjezana, but anyone else who knows feel 
free to chime in:

I noticed in AbstractJBossStartLaunchConfiguration is the following 
block of code:

         if (ILaunchManager.PROFILE_MODE.equals(mode)) {
             try {
                 ServerProfilerDelegate.configureProfiling(launch, vm, 
runConfig, monitor);

I'm attempting the beginnings of trying to refactor a lot of the ASTools 
launching behavior, and I need to know what kind of changes these 
profile delegates will make to the launch. I'm not sure I have the 
proper environment up, but, if you could tell me how to test it and use 
it, I'd be super grateful.

It's always a bit dangerous when touching or moving code that you're not 
familiar with how it works.

This block of code is also a bit inconvenient since it happens after 95% 
of the launch code but before the vmrunner.run(etc), so it requires us 
to basically copy a superclass's entire 300 line method in order to 
sneak the profiling bit in before the launch is run.

Anyway, any advice on how this works, what kinda changes it can make to 
the launch, or how to set up my env to test it, would be very helpful.
