Currently the output of the profiler is a generated XML file, which is post-processed to yield HTML. The HTML can be viewed from within the GUI or any HTML3.2 compliant browser, eg Netscape Communicator. Future enhancements are planned to include an interface for interrogating the XML and generating charts/graphs to graphically illustrate a number of measurements.
The jProf GUI is designed to be simple to use.The functionality and purpose of each tab are described here.
