VisualVM is Bundled with the JVM

I have been using VisualVM for quite a while now... it's got the monitoring tools that work pretty nicely if you have the network connectivity you need to get to the box. What I learned this morning on the #clojure channel on IRC is that it's now included in the JVM.

That's sweet! SO I had to check:

  $ which jvisualvm
  /usr/bin/jvisualvm

Really nice! It's the same tool, but now it's integrated, and that's even better.

Now I'll be able to use it on any platform and not have to hassle with downloading it as a separate install. Very nice!
