JConsole is a graphical monitoring tool to monitor Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and Java applications both on a local or remote machine.

JConsole uses underlying features of Java Virtual Machine to provide information on performance and resource consumption of applications running on the Java platform using Java Management Extensions (JMX) technology.

Java Management Extensions

Java Management Extensions is a Java technology that supplies tools for managing and monitoring applications, system objects, devices (such as printers) and service-oriented networks. Those resources are represented by objects called MBeans (for Managed Bean).

Java Development Kit

The Java Development Kit is a software development kit for development of a Java platform application. The JDK is designed to be mainly used to communicate with the Java Runtime Environment (JRE), but it can be replaced by other JDK-based languages which can communicate with the JRE and JVM. Furthermore, Java bytecode can be compiled statically directly into native code only with a JVM but without the necessity of the Java runtime environment running dynamically.
