Why do you need 300 line method to add this ? 

It's what other server adapters do too for enabling profile is it not ?

Maybe we got it in the wrong place since this actually sounds like something 
that all server adapters should be able to benefit from as long as they are launched
with pure java.

Install a Profiler plugin, like YourKit (http://www.yourkit.com/features/eclipse/) which supports
Eclipse notion of Profile runs.

Then you should be able to run a profiler against any java launch, including our server adapter.
