JDK 6 Update 7 Java VisualVM and VisualVM 1.0 released

After eight months of frantic development since VisualVM Preview 1 was released I'm happy to announce the general availability of JDK 6 Update 7 Java VisualVM and VisualVM 1.0 (java.net).

What's new?

Well, mainly that if you download and install JDK 6 Update 7 on your machine running VisualVM will be as simple as calling <jdk-home>/bin/jvisualvm.

VisualVM comes with a set of plugins available for download from the VisualVM Plugin Center. In order to enhance VisualVM's core functionality go to "Tools | Plugins" and give a try to any of the available plugins or even better extend the tool by writing your own plugins using the VisualVM APIs for plugin developers.

Visit http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp or https://visualvm.dev.java.net for download or to get more information.

Use feedback at visualvm.dev.java.net mailing list to send us your feedback.

Have fun!
