Building VisualVM ================= For convenience we've provided make targets that automatically download, extract and build the source code for VisualVM. Building requires a bootstrap JDK and an appropriate version of NetBeans. Currently, we support the use of IcedTea6 as packaged with most GNU/Linux distributions. See ./configure --help if you need to override the defaults. $ ./autogen.sh $ ./configure --prefix=<visualvm install location> $ make $ make install The default version is currently 1.2.2. Supported versions are: * 1.2.2 with NetBeans 6.8 * 1.3 with NetBeans 6.9 * 1.3.1 with NetBeans Platform 6.9.1 * 1.3.2 with NetBeans Platform 6.9.1 To build with a version other than the default, specify --with-visualvm-version=x where x is the version. VisualVM is installed in the specified prefix as with normal packages. To achieve the effect previously used when VisualVM was integrated into IcedTea, just use a prefix equal to the JDK's location. Build Modification Options ========================== The build process may be modified by passing the following options to configure: * --with-netbeans-home: Specifies the path to the NetBeans installation to use to build. Defaults to /usr/share/netbeans. * --with-jdk-home: Specifies teh path to the JDK to use to build. The first of: * /usr/lib/jvm/java-openjdk * /usr/lib/jvm/icedtea6 * /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk * /usr/lib/jvm/openjdk * /usr/lib/jvm/java-icedtea which is found to be present is used by default. * --with-netbeans-profiler-zip: The path to the appropriate NetBeans profiler zip file to avoid downloading it. * --with-visualvm-zip: The path to the appropriate VisualVM zip file to avoid downloading it. * --with-visualvm-version: Specify the version of VisualVM to build from those supported. The default is 1.2.2.
