Installing jvisualvm on CentOS

Question

I installed Java on my CentOS machine, but I don't have jvisualvm:

[root@ bin]# ls -la /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/

How do I install it?

Answer 1

From Oracle's web site:

Various optional tools, including Java VisualVM, are provided with Sun's distribution of the Java Development Kit (JDK)

Did you install the Java JDK (Java Development Kit) or just the runtime (JRE)?

The Java 6 JDK is available for download at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk6-downloads-1637591.html

The Java 7 JDK is available at: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1637583.html

Or are you limited to only using OpenJDK? In which case you can download VisualVM from http://visualvm.java.net/download.html
