You need to set or re-set the JProfiler executable. Do the following:

  • Select "Edit Configurations" from the "Run" drop down menu
  • Select "Application" under "Defaults" in the dialog box (or any existing run configuration)
  • Select the "Startup/Connection" tab
  • Select "JProfiler" in the list
  • Click on the "Select JProfiler Executable" button
  • Choose the JProfiler executable, which is

  • [JProfiler installation directory]\bin\jprofiler.exe on Windows
  • [JProfiler installation directory]/bin/jprofiler on Linux/Unix
  • [JProfiler installation directory]/bin/macos/jprofiler.sh on Mac OS X
