For convenience we've provided make targets that automatically
5
download, extract and build the source code for VisualVM.
7
Building requires a bootstrap JDK and an appropriate version of
8
NetBeans. Currently, we support the use of IcedTea6 as packaged with
9
most GNU/Linux distributions.
11
See ./configure --help if you need to override the defaults.
14
$ ./configure --prefix=<visualvm install location>
18
The default version is currently 1.2.2. Supported versions
21
* 1.2.2 with NetBeans 6.8
22
* 1.3 with NetBeans 6.9
23
* 1.3.1 with NetBeans Platform 6.9.1
24
* 1.3.2 with NetBeans Platform 6.9.1
26
To build with a version other than the default, specify
27
--with-visualvm-version=x where x is the version.
29
VisualVM is installed in the specified prefix as with normal packages.
30
To achieve the effect previously used when VisualVM was integrated
31
into IcedTea, just use a prefix equal to the JDK's location.
33
Build Modification Options
34
