How do I detect from my application that it was started with JProfiler?

Question

I know that I "shouldn't do this", but I fiddle with the ClassLoaders a bit and JProfiler doesn't like that and it hasn't to do anything with what I want to profile, so just stick to the question, please :).

How do I detect from my application that it was started with JProfiler? Or maybe just that JProfiler is currently connected?

Answer 1

The answer is simple if you know how:

public static boolean isStartedWithJProfiler() {
    RuntimeMXBean runtimeMxBean = ManagementFactory.getRuntimeMXBean();
    List<String> arguments = runtimeMxBean.getInputArguments();
    for( String argument : arguments ) {
        if( argument.contains("profilerti") ) {
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}
