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:

1. Build VisualVM tool as described above
2. Expand/decompress the generated visualvm.zip file in visualvm/dist.
3. 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
