Where did jvisualvm go?

I am running Mac OSX Snow Leopard.

I\'ve always updated Java using the regular Software Update features of Mac OSX.

I\'ve used the Java jvisualvm

Answer 1

If you are already using NetBeans, another workaround is to use its profiler. In version 7.3:

• Start the Java application from the command line, desktop or javawebstart.

• In NetBeans, choose Profile > Attach Profiler.

• Select Attach to: <external Application>.

• Specify the desired analysis options.

• Click the Attach button.

• Choose the target application.

Answer 2

It seems the supporting bundle got removed upon update. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4474992?start=0&tstart=0

Download the bundle to use as a workaround. http://visualvm.java.net/download.html

EDIT:

Use this download link: https://java.net/projects/visualvm/downloads/download/release132/VisualVM_132.d‌​mg

Answer 3

The Visual VM binary path for JDK 1.8 in macOS Mojave is

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_231.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/jvisualvm

Basically,

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/<JDK_DIR>/Contents/Home/bin/jvisualvm

Answer 4

For JDK 9 users

Starting with JDK 9, Visual VM will not be included with Oracle JDK. Developers who would like to use Visual VM with Oracle JDK 9 or later can get it from the Visual VM open source project site.

I downloaded the visualvm (.dmg from java.net) and that works for me on my Mountain Lion.
