The Eclipse plug-in edition of Java Mission Control provides seamless integration of Java Mission Control's application profiling and monitoring toolset with the Eclipse development platform. By integrating the Java Mission Control Client with Eclipse, you can combine the features of Eclipse with the tools that comprises Java Mission Control. The Java Mission Control-Eclipse Plug-in provides instructions for using the special functionality enabled by integrating the Java Mission Control Client with Eclipse.
When you run the Java 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 Java Mission Control Client, a function called Jump-to-Source.
Another benefit of integrating the Java 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 runtime problems before you actually deploy your application to production.
