Profiling Java applications in VS Code with JProfiler
2025-04-25
Posted by Ingo Kegel
JProfiler now integrates directly into VS Code, bringing the powerful profiling tool into your everyday development workflow.
In this screencast, we profile the Spring Pet Clinic demo and walk through the features of the JProfiler extension for VS Code, including:
- Toggling profiling mode
- Automatic setup of profiled packages
- Source code navigation from profiling views
- Attach mode for unsupported launch methods (like Maven)
- Built-in Gradle integration
If you're using a launch method in VS Code that isn't currently supported, let us know — we’re always looking to expand support.
