Where to find Java Mission Control and VisualVM on Ubuntu (OpenJDK 8)?
Some OpenJDK distribution maintainers are now providing jmc builds like AdoptOpenJDK, Amazon Corretto or Azul Zulu.
Java Mission Control (jmc) is open source and hosted on GitHub and openjdk.java.net (as a Mercurial repository).
Official nightly builds are available here.
It is also rather easy to build jmc yourself using the instructions from the readme file:
hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jmc/jmc/
cd jmc/releng/third-party
mvn p2:site
mvn jetty:run
In a different terminal:
cd core
mvn clean install
cd ..
mvn package
After installing, you can close the Jetty server running in the first terminal.
Alternatively, you can use Docker to build jmc:
docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml run jmc
To launch jmc:
- on Linux:
target/products/org.openjdk.jmc/linux/gtk/x86_64/jmc - on macOS:
target/products/org.openjdk.jmc/macosx/cocoa/x86_64/JDK\ Mission\ Control.app/Contents/MacOS/jmc - on Windows:
target\products\org.openjdk.jmc\win32\win32\x86_64\jmc.exe
You should see a splash screen now:

Java Mission Control is an Oracle addon. If you want to profile I suggest you use the OpenJDK and/or a commercial profile like YourKit.
If they are not part of the OpenJDK, can I download them using apt-get install
You have to download it from the Oracle website after agreeing to their usage license.
