Oracle® Java Mission Control

To fully take advantage of running Mission Control in your Eclipse IDE, you need to run Eclipse on a JDK installation.
Attaching to locally running JVMs will only work if you're running with a JDK.

Follow the instructions below to run on a HotSpot JDK.

The easiest way to change the JVM on which to start Eclipse is by modifying the eclipse.ini file. You can also set the -vm on the command line used to start Eclipse. In windows you would typically do that in the shortcut you use to launch Eclipse. Here is an example ini file:

-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
-vm
D:\java\jdk7_40\bin\javaw.exe

You can also configure JVM options by using -vmargs on commandline or eclipse.ini:

-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
-vm
D:\java\jdk7_40\bin\javaw.exe
-vmargs
-XX:+<option>
