Importing Probekit source files into a project

You can import Probekit source files (probe files) from the file system into your Probekit project, and then build the probe to add it to your Probekit registry.

Note: Probekit source files must appear in the top level of a project source folder. They cannot be in a subfolder.

To import a Probekit source file (probe file) from the file system:

  1. In the Package Explorer, right-click the Probekit project source folder that you want to contain the Probekit source file and select Import. If you import the file into a Java™ project, you must convert the project to a Probekit project, or the probe will not be built correctly.
  2. In the Import dialog box, select File system and then click Next.
  3. In the From file field, type the name of the probe file you want to import, or click Browse to select the file.
  4. Click Finish. If auto-build is enabled, the probe is built and information for it is added to your Probekit registry, which makes it available for use in profiling configurations. If auto-build is not enabled, you must use the manual Build command to build it.
