Since the 3.1 version of JRockit Mission Control, it is possible to extend JRockit Mission Control in various ways. The first extensibility features that we’re releasing are for the JRockit Mission Control Console, with the next major version featuring the same sort of extensibility for the Memleak and JRA tools as well.
Together with exposing these extension points, we also wanted to provide plug-ins that facilitates building extensions for JRMC. Since these plug-ins, strictly speaking, are not part of the JRockit Mission Control product, we’ve tried to come up with a good way for distributing them.
Today we released the Experimental Update Site for JRockit Mission Control. It contains plug-ins for Eclipse and/or JRMC that either extends, or makes it easier to extend, JRockit Mission Control. In this first release, there is a PDE plug-in that provides wizards for extending the JRockit Mission Control console in various ways. There is also a JConsole meta plug-in, that allows you to run JConsole plug-ins in JRockit Mission Control. IMHO, using the PDE-plug-ins to build a native JRMC version of the plug-in is the better way to go. ;)
Everything in the experimental update site is provided as is – it is unsupported functionality, and the plug-ins may be revised and updated without notice. Please use the forum if you have any questions or want to report problems with these plug-ins.
Have fun!
