hello,
an excellent intervention !
can i mention this link on my weblog:

best regards

This looks really useful!

Worked great for me. The program is very clean and UI is very well done. I was able to observe netbeans, two of my own apps, and even Visualvm itself with no probs. This is a must have tool for every Java developer.

The very first time I tried it I connected to my IDE and tried to take a heap snapshot. In response the IDE's VM died a swift death.

Moral of the story: don't use this against a production process until the kinks are ironed out in 3 or 4 builds' time.

More articles of this type the inquirer please :)
