Since JRockit Mission Control 3.1, there is an Experimental Update Site from which plug-ins for Mission Control can be installed. The plug-ins either extend JRockit Mission Control, or facilitate building extensions for JRockit Mission Control. The homepage for the update site for 3.1 versions of JRockit Mission Control can be found here:
The update site for the 4.0 release can be found here:
When using the update site URLs in Eclipse, the ending index.html
must be removed.
Both the JRockit and reference J2SE distributions contain a reference JMX console called JConsole. The 3.1.0 release of the update site included a plug-in that allowed JConsole plug-ins to be run within JRockit Mission Control. It also contained a set of Plug-in Development Environment (PDE) plug-ins that allows the development of custom plug-ins for the JRockit Mission Control Console. More information on creating plug-ins for JRockit Mission Control can be found at the end of Chapter 7 (The Management Console), in Chapter 9 (The Flight Recorder), and in Chapter 10 (The Memory Leak Detector).
After the 4.0 release of JRockit Mission Control, Oracle plants to make additional plug-ins for Mission Control available. New experimental plug-ins will be announced on the blog at http://blogs.oracle.com/hirt.
