Benefits of Eclipse Integration

When you run the JRockit Mission Control Client within the Eclipse IDE, you have access to IDE features that are not otherwise available in the tools when you run it as a standalone Rich Client Platform (RCP) application. The most significant of these features is the ability to see the source code in the running application by opening it directly from the JRockit Mission Control Client, a function called Jump-to-Source.

The other benefit of integrating the JRockit Mission Control Client with the Eclipse IDE is that it allows you to profile and monitor an application during the development phase just as you would during the production phase. This lets you identify potential run-time problems before you actually deploy your application to production; you might, for example, while monitoring an application during its development, notice a memory leak. By catching the memory leak during development, you can correct it before you migrate your application to a production environment.
