JRockit Management Console on HotSpot JVM

This section provides a tutorial example on how to use Oracle JRockit Management Console to monitor and manage HotSpot JVM instances.

JRockit Management Console can also be used to monitor and manage HotSpot JVM as shown in the tutorial:

1. Compile and run LongWhile.java with HotSpot 1.6.0 in a command window:

>\Progra~1\java\jdk1.6.0_45\bin\javac LongWhile.java

>\Progra~1\java\jdk1.6.0_45\bin\java LongWhile

 Free memory: 16055544
Total memory: 16252928

2. Compile and run LongSleep2.java with JRockit R28.2.7 in another command window:

>\Progra~1\java\jrockit-jdk1.6.0_45-R28.2.7-4.1.0\bin\javac \
   LongSleep2.java

>\Progra~1\java\jrockit-jdk1.6.0_45-R28.2.7-4.1.0\bin\java LongSleep2

Total memory: 67108864
 Free memory: 63434800
 Used memory: 3674064

3. Restart JRockit Mission Control 4.1.0 and go to the JVM Browser panel. 3 JVM instances will be discovered under the Local folder:

[1.6][HotSpot] LongWhile (9,636)
[1.6]LongSleep2 (11,272)
This Mission Control

4. Right mouse click on "[1.6][HotSpot] LongWhile (9,636)" and select "Start Console". The JRockit Management Console will be connected to the HotSpot JVM instance.
