Creating and editing probes

You can create a probe as a resource in any Java project. You can also create a Java project that only contains probes. Probes can be saved in any Java project, in any folder that is designated as a source folder.

To create or edit a probe:

If you are creating a new probe, select File > New > Other > Simple File. If you are editing an existing probe, double-click the probe.
Use the text editor to create or edit a probe in xml format, using the probe sample as a model. If you intend to use multiple probes simultaneously, you can combine them into a single file.
Note: All probes must have the following first line: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?>
Save the probe in a Java source folder using a filename with the extension .probe.
