VisualVM (2.1.10) sources repository
VisualVM is a visual tool integrating commandline JDK tools and lightweight profiling capabilities. See https://visualvm.github.io for details, downloads and documentation.
Get the tools
Use Apache Ant 1.9.15 or above and Oracle JDK 8 to build VisualVM from this repository.
Get the sources
First download or clone this repository into directory visualvm
. There are two project suites included:
- visualvm (
visualvm/visualvm
) - suite for the core VisualVM tool - plugins (
visualvm/plugins
) - suite for the VisualVM plugins available in Plugins Center
Configure the dependencies
Then download and extract the NetBeans Platform 22 into directory visualvm/visualvm
(should create visualvm/visualvm/netbeans
).
How to build
To build VisualVM, use ant build-zip
command in the visualvm/visualvm
directory.
How to run
To run VisualVM, use ant run
command in the visualvm/visualvm
directory.
Build and run plugins
To build or run the plugins suite, use ant build
or ant run
in the visualvm/plugins
directory. This will automatically build the zip distribution of the core VisualVM tool into visualvm/visualvm/dist/visualvm.zip
and extract it into the visualvm/plugins/visualvm
directory. After that the build of the plugins suite continues to build each of the individual plugins. Running the plugins suite means starting VisualVM with all the plugins installed.
Generate the Maven artifacts
First prepare the binaries:
- Build VisualVM tool as described above
- Expand/decompress the generated
visualvm.zip
file in visualvm/dist
. - Generate the NBMs by running:
ant nbms
. This will generate a folder build/updates
containing all the NBMs.
To generate the artifacts use org.apache.netbeans.utilities:nb-repository-plugin
. Make sure the current directory is still visualvm/visualvm
.
To install the artifacts into your local repository use the following command:
mvn \
-DnetbeansInstallDirectory=dist/visualvm \
-DnetbeansNbmDirectory=build/updates \
-DgroupIdPrefix=org.graalvm.visualvm \
-DforcedVersion=RELEASE2110 \
org.apache.netbeans.utilities:nb-repository-plugin:populate
To publish the artifacts into a remote repository use the following command:
mvn
-DnetbeansInstallDirectory=dist/visualvm \
-DnetbeansNbmDirectory=build/updates \
-DgroupIdPrefix=org.graalvm.visualvm \
-DforcedVersion=RELEASE2110 \
-DdeployUrl=<URL to the remote repo> \
-DdeployId=<repository id referenced in your settings.xml> \
-DskipInstall=true \
org.apache.netbeans.utilities:nb-repository-plugin:populate
