I am using spring tool suite with the java mission control plugin to start an app which I would like to monitor using the JFR. I added -XX:+UnlockCommercialFeatures -XX:+FlightRecorder
to the SpringToolSuite4.ini
and additionally set JAVA_OPTS with those two flags (both of which is not necessary if I understand it correctly) and -XX:+FlightRecorder
in Run configurations > Arguments > VM arguments of the application to be monitored. When adding both flags as well to the run configuration the application cannot be started with the openJdk.
After starting the application in the JVM Browser when selecting the Flight Recorder I get the following exception.
java.lang.RuntimeException: Flight Recorder features are not enabled. To enable this you need to use a Java 7u4 or later JVM started with -XX:+UnlockCommercialFeatures -XX:+FlightRecorder.

I tried it with the following java versions.
$ java -version
openjdk version "11.0.2" 2018-10-16
OpenJDK Runtime Environment AdoptOpenJDK (build 11.0.2+7)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM AdoptOpenJDK (build 11.0.2+7, mixed mode)
or with the JDK from oracle
$ java -version
java version "11.0.2" 2019-01-15 LTS
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 18.9 (build 11.0.2+9-LTS)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11.0.2+9-LTS, mixed mode)
For none of the above mentioned JDK's there is a jmc.exe which was there with java 8. Is that part of the plugin?
How can I get this running?
