Why isn't VisualVM showing all the normal tabs

Question

Usually I see all these tabs in VisualVM for locally running Java programs:

However, I have one local program which is currently only showing me Overview and Monitor (even though it usually shows all those shown above):

Also interesting is that VisualVM itself doesn't present the Profile tab:

All three of the programs shown are running with the same JVM with the same Java Home.

What controls which tabs are shown for a particular program? How can I get them all back for my program showing just Overview and Monitor?

I have Visual VM 1.3.5 (latest at this date) and JDK 1.7.0_17.

Answer 1

What worked for me was specifying the "Start profiling from" classes. If I left this blank, I didn't get the profiler tab. When I specified it, I did. I should probably note that this was a web application running under Tomcat, so I specified org.apache.catalina.startup.** as the starting class.
