Before you can build probes, you must create a Probekit project. A Probekit project is a Java™ project that has been enabled to build probes. It contains the source code and related files that are required for applying and exporting probes. It has an associated probe builder that compiles Probekit source files (probe files) and automatically lists the probes in the Probekit registry.
You can create a separate project for building probes, or you can convert an existing Java project to enable it to build probes, depending on how you prefer to organize your work. You do not have to convert projects that contain programs to which you want to apply probes, only the projects in which you want to create new probes.
