JDK Mission Control 8 Release Notes
JDK Mission Control (JMC) is an advanced set of tools for managing, monitoring, profiling, and troubleshooting Java applications. JMC enables efficient and detailed data analysis for areas such as code performance, memory, and latency without introducing the performance overhead normally associated with profiling and monitoring tools.
Note: JMC 8 supersedes the previous versions. JMC 8 can analyze recordings from JDK 7 and above. All JMC 7 users and any remaining JMC 5 users must upgrade to JMC 8. Download JMC 8 from here.
