JMC 7 Early Access Builds Available (and New Packaging)

Early access builds of JDK Mission Control are now available. They can be fetched from here:

http://jdk.java.net/jmc/

With JMC 7, we are switching to a new delivery model, with a separate installer for JMC. There are multiple reasons for this, such as having one deliverable which supports both OpenJDK and the Oracle JDK, and wasting less disk space for those of us having multiple JDKs installed.

I wrote a blog together with Aurelio with more information here:

We’re still working on providing a good way to provide feedback. Within a few weeks, you should be able to provide feedback through webbugs. Until then, the best way is to talk to us at the OFTC #jmc channel.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
