The JDK Mission Control is installed the same way as Zulu Mission Control, except that the application is named JDK Mission Control.app.Īs a final note I want to provide the link to the OpenJDK JDK Mission Control repository, which can be found here. Apparently the JDK Mission Control source repository can be found here, though I did not investigate the repository further. As of writing this article, the only available version is version 8.0.0 Snapshot, which is available for Windows, MacOS and Linux. The second one is JDK Mission Control as provided on the AdoptOpenJDK webpage. I downloaded the archive for the MacOS version, unpacked it and copied the Zulu Mission Control.app to the Applications directory. I did not find a source-code repository for Zulu Mission Control. As of writing this article, the latest version of Zulu Mission Control for MacOS is version 7.0. There are version for Windows, Linux and MacOS. Zulu Mission Control can be downloaded here. The first one is Zulu Mission Control (community builds), which is a fork of JDK Mission Control maintained by Azul Systems. Researching for this article, I did find not only one but two different free versions of JDK Mission Control. OpenJDK 64- Bit Server VM AdoptOpenJDK ( build 11.0.5+ 10, mixed mode ) When starting VisualVM from the terminal, the following message is logged to the console:

When I tried to start the newly installed VisualVM, nothing happened – it seemed like it immediately quit when being launched. Installation is straightforward after having mounted the dmg just drag the VisualVM.app application to the Applications directory. Since I am using MacOS, I download the MacOS application bundle (dmg). VisualVM has been open-sourced and the GitHub repository can be found here. There are binaries available for Linux, MacOS and Windows. The latest version can be downloaded from this webpage. VisualVM was the predecessor to JDK Mission Control but as of 2019 it is again actively developed and, as of writing this article, the latest version released is 1.4.4 which was released on September 26, 2019. However I did not find my favourite Java JVM monitoring tools, VisualVM and Mission Control, in any of the JDKs that I downloaded with SDKMAN.

Given that Oracle’s Java licensing model has changed, I have uninstalled all Oracle JDKs from my computer and am using SDKMAN to download free Java JDK versions.
