# VisualVM 2.0.6 sources repository
VisualVM is a visual tool integrating commandline JDK tools and lightweight profiling capabilities. See https://visualvm.github.io for details, downloads and documentation.
## Get the tools
Use Apache Ant 1.9.9 or above and Oracle JDK 8 to build VisualVM from this repository.
## Get the sources
First download or clone this repository into directory `visualvm`. There are two project suites included:
* visualvm (`visualvm/visualvm`) - suite for the core VisualVM tool
* plugins (`visualvm/plugins`) - suite for the VisualVM plugins available in Plugins Center
## Configure the dependencies
Then extract the [NetBeans Platform 11.3](visualvm/nb113_platform_27102020.zip) into directory `visualvm/visualvm` (should create `visualvm/visualvm/netbeans`).
## Build and run VisualVM tool
To build VisualVM, use `ant build-zip` command in the `visualvm/visualvm` directory. To run VisualVM, use `ant run` command in the `visualvm/visualvm` directory.
## Build and run VisualVM plugins
To build or run the plugins suite, use `ant build` or `ant run` in the `visualvm/plugins` directory. This will automatically build the zip distribution of the core VisualVM tool into `visualvm/visualvm/dist/visualvm.zip` and extract it into the `visualvm/plugins/visualvm` directory. After that the build of the plugins suite continues to build each of the individual plugins. Running the plugins suite means starting VisualVM with all the plugins installed.
## Generate the Maven artifacts
First prepare the binaries:
1. Build VisualVM tool as described above
2. Expand/decompress the generated `visualvm.zip` file in `visualvm/dist`.
3. Generate the NBMs by running: `ant nbms`. This will generate a folder `build/updates` containing all the NBMs.
To generate the artifacts use [`org.apache.netbeans.utilities:nb-repository-plugin`](https://bits.netbeans.org/mavenutilities/nb-repository-plugin/index.html). Make sure the current directory is still `visualvm/visualvm`.
To install the artifacts into your local repository use the following command:
```
mvn \
-DnetbeansInstallDirectory=dist/visualvm \
-DnetbeansNbmDirectory=build/updates \
-DgroupIdPrefix=org.graalvm.visualvm \
-DforcedVersion=RELEASE206 \
org.apache.netbeans.utilities:nb-repository-plugin:populate
```
To publish the artifacts into a remote repository use the following command:
```
mvn
-DnetbeansInstallDirectory=dist/visualvm \
-DnetbeansNbmDirectory=build/updates \
-DgroupIdPrefix=org.graalvm.visualvm \
-DforcedVersion=RELEASE206 \
-DdeployUrl=<URL to the remote repo> \
-DdeployId=<repository id referenced in your settings.xml> \
-DskipInstall=true \
org.apache.netbeans.utilities:nb-repository-plugin:populate
```
