using jmxremote to monitor java app

[tas2826]

I am just learning about the app montoring features available through JConsole. I am using jdk150_06 to monitor an app in development locally on a Windows PC. I set the property (-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote) on the statup of my app jvm. I run JConsole, the JConsole comes up, sees the JVM, I connect to it and everything seems ok. I want to pull a heap dump of the app to look at in the Memory Analyzer plugin tool available in Eclipse 3.5. According to all the doco I see in JConsole I should see a "com.sun.management" MBean registered in which I can specify a location for the heap dump and generate one. However, I don't see a "com.sun.management" MBean in my JConsole.

Wondering if anyone has done this before? Am I looking for the wrong thing? Is it maybe my JDK version or something?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Troy
