[JAVA][Beginning Java 8 Games Development]

Chapter 2 ■ Setting Up Your Java 8 IDE: An Introduction to NetBeans 8.0
Click the Live Results icon in the Profiling Results section, and open a live profiling result tab, shown in
Figure 2-18, at the top, labeled with the CPU time (2:12:09 pm).
Figure 2-18. NetBeans Profiler output, shown in the cpu tab, at the top right, and the Output tab, at the bottom right
As you can see, you are able to open your code hierarchy, including the .main() method, the .start() method,
and the .handle() method, and see a visual representation of their percentage of total CPU time used as well as the
actual CPU time used, in milliseconds, which is the time value that is employed in Java programming for both Java 8
and JavaFX and even for HTML5, JavaScript, and Android application development.
Finally, as you can see in the Output pane at the bottom of the figure, there is also text output, just like when this
Output pane is used for displaying the compiled, run, and executed code, showing what the Profiler is doing as well.
After the “Hello World!” that you generated by clicking your application’s Say “Hello World” button, you can see the
Profiler agent Initializing, caching classes, and so on. There are a ton of tabs and options in this area of NetBeans, and
I cannot cover every single one of them in this basic NetBeans overview chapter, so play around with what you see on
your screen!
