I’ve been playing with mc4j to see if I can get a decent JMX console that works with Websphere 5.1, and it’s a great little app. I’ve been playing with beta 5 (apparently 6 is out), and the version I’m playing with certainly has some negs, so I’m keen for when this one gets out of beta. My issues so far:
- Custom installer (I’d much rather just unzip)
- Mega-buggy GUI (slow, and keeps crashing)
- Binary config file (if it was XML or text I could fix the classpath entries required to get to my app server working cause the GUI crashes if you try and change them after completing the “New Connection” wizard.)
- Did I mention it’s very slow?
But all that said it’s got a cool little GUI with nice grouping of attributes and some cool dynamic refresh options. Overall, but for the tricky config, it’s a very handle little tool!
So, anyone got any other recommendations for JMX consoles they have had success with? I’d love to get one hosted as a WSAD/Eclipse plugin, but whatever.
