Attended DJUG's October meeting, which was sponsored by NFJS and had Ken Sipe as presenter. He gave two presentations, the first on Spring and JMX, the second on 7 Habits of Highly Productive Developers. The room was packed. It was standing room only.
JMX Presentation Takeaways:
- You need to use JMX.
- Would you fly a plane without instruments?
- Then why fly software without JMX data on its in-flight status?
- Java 5 and above has MBean server.
- JSR 3 (literally, the 3rd JSR ever) = JMX
- JDK 6 -> Even Simpler -> GetPlatformMBeanServer()
