The BEA JRockit team has been working on increasing its support for Eclipse users over the past couple of years. Some deliveres made along the way was the port of JRockit Mission Control 2.0 to the Eclipse RCP platform that we did as part of the JRockit R27.1 release in December 2006 and the addition of JRockit as an Eclipse reference platform earlier the same year. Important milestones, but so far no real integration between Mission Control and the Eclipse or BEA Workshop IDEs. Until now, that is.
Earlier this week, we quietly released the JRockit Mission Control 3.0.2 tools suite in the form of Eclipse IDE Plug-Ins, and made it available for download on the BEA Update Site. In addition to the standard JRockit Mission Control features, it also adds basic integration with the IDE environment such as the capability to jump-to-source from out profiling and diagnostics tools. We also went live with a JRockit Mission Control section in the BEA Bugzilla where you can report bugs and request feature enhancements. We will of course continue to monitor our online user forums as well.
But to paraphrase Churchill, this is only the end of the beginning. Moving forward, we are going to do more frequent releases on the Update Site, both in the form of official JRockit Mission Control updates and some more experimental stuff. We are also going to enable updating the standalone Mission Control application from the Update Site to speed up patch delivery and feature enhancements.
We are going to reveal more specifics on what we have up our sleeves on EclipseCon next week, so for those attending that conference I recommend that you attend Marcus Hirt's presentation, or grab one of the BEA reps attending the conference. If you are unable to attend, add Marcus' blog to your feeds instead - that's where you get the news first!
