Description

https://github.com/apache/netbeans/issues/7323

Since Netbeans profiler stopped working on compiled code after Java 11, it seems like they will be just removing the profiler out of the IDE for good. VisualVM is basically the same profiler, but it seems to work fine with Java 11 +. Anyone care to update the Netbeans IDE profiler?
