Build instructions for VisualVM 1.1.
Check out source code with a SVN client using the following command.
svn checkout https://svn.java.net/svn/visualvm~svn/branches/release11
There are two suites:
The layout in SVN for VisualVM 1.1 release is:
To build the visualvm core tool you need the NetBeans 6.5 platform and profiler binaries available
here.
These binaries must be extracted into the release11/visualvm directory. You can use ant run
or ant build-zip
to build or run VisualVM.
To build the plugins suite, use ant build
or ant run
. This will automatically
build the zip distribution of the visualvm core tool into release11/visualvm/dist/visualvm.zip and extract
it into the release11/plugins/visualvm directory. After that the build of the plugins suite continues to
build each of the individual plugins.
