I created a new bundle with an icon with the following block of code. In
fact, I just used the example SampleAction to make it even easier.
IProfileRegistry profileRegistry = (IProfileRegistry)
ServiceHelper.getService(Activator.getContext(),
IProfileRegistry.class.getName());
if (profileRegistry == null)
throw new RuntimeException("Unable to acquire the profile registry
service.");
IProfile profile = profileRegistry.getProfile("SDKProfile");
new GarbageCollector().runGC(profile);
MessageDialog.openInformation(window.getShell(), "Profile Garbage
Collector", "Profile garbage collection finished.");
