Software Requirements
The current release of JVM Monitor (3.8.0_beta) requires the followings.
| Platform | Windows, Linux, or Mac OS X |
| Eclipse | Helios 3.6.x, Indigo 3.7.x or Juno 3.8.x/4.2.x |
| Java for Eclipse | Oracle JDK 6 or 7, OpenJDK 6 or 7, or Apple JDK 6 |
| Java to be profiled | Oracle JDK/JRE 6 or 7, OpenJDK 6 or 7, or Apple JDK 6 |
Installation
There are several options to install.
Option 1) open Eclipse Marketplace wizard (Help > Eclipse Marketplace...), search with the text 'JVM Monitor', and click Install button.
Option 2) If the Eclipse Marketplace menu is not found, open Install wizard (Help > Install New Software... > Add...), and enter the following update site.
| http://www.jvmmonitor.org/updates/3.8 |
Option 3) manually install by downloading
zip file
and unzipping in Eclipse dropins folder.
Note: JVM Monitor is implemented only with pure Java and doesn't provide any native library/executable unlike some other profilers, so the installation is simply to place plugins at Eclipse plugins directory without messing up your system. That's why the option (3) works.
