JDK Mission Control Agent Plugin

a Mission Control plug-in to control JMC agents

1. Getting Started

The JMC Agent Plugin is implemented as an Eclipse platform plug-in, thus, you'll need to the latest Eclipse for Committers and a JDK of your choice.

1.1 Download a Pre-release

Alpha pre-leases are available for downloading from the release page

2. Building from Source

2.1 Build JMC Agent

Since Java Mission Control (JMC) agent is not currently published, the Maven build process expects to be able to find the agent artifacts in the local Maven repository. You'll need to build these artifacts yourself and install them to your local repository.

1. Clone the openjdk/jmc repository.
2. Navigate to agent sub-directory.
3. Run mvn install.

Confirm org.openjdk.jmc.agent now exists in your local maven repository.

2.2 Build JMC with Agent Plugin

2.2.1 Build with Eclipse

The JMC Agent Plugin is implemented as an Eclipse platform plug-in, thus, you'll need to the latest Eclipse for Committers and a JDK of your choice.

1. Import the JMC project into Eclipse. See this blog post for detailed instructions.
2. Clone this repository.
3. In Eclipse, use the File -> Import -> Existing Projects into Workspace wizard to import the org.openjdk.jmc.feature.console.ext.agent sub-folder.
4. In Eclipse, use the File -> Import -> Existing Maven Project wizard to import the org.openjdk.jmc.console.ext.agent sub-folder.
5. In Eclipse, go to Run -> Run Configurations and right click to duplicate JMC RPC entry. In the newly created configuration, enable org.openjdk.jmc.feature.console.ext.agent feature in Plug-ins tab.
6. Launch JDK Mission Control with this new configuration.

2.2.2 Build in Command Line

First, clone the JMC source tree:

$ git clone https://github.com/openjdk/jmc.git

Then, clone the JMC Agent Plugin source tree:

$ git clone https://github.com/rh-jmc-team/jmc-agent-plugin.git

Copy the agent plugin and feature folds from the JMC Agent Plugin source tree to JMC:

$ cp -r jmc-agent-plugin/org.openjdk.jmc* jmc/application

Apply the patch to JMC's root directory:

$ cd jmc
$ git apply ../jmc-agent-plugin/scripts/diff.patch

Get third party dependencies into a local p2 repo and make it available on localhost:

$ cd releng/third-party && mvn p2:site && mvn jetty:run

Finally, in another terminal, compile and package JMC:

$ cd jmc/core && mvn install && cd .. && mvn package

Find the built artifacts in target/products directory.
