Is this project still alive or do we have alternatives?
Sorry for using the issue tracker for asking a question but the current numbers do give the impression that the great jvmtop become unmaintained:
- last commit over two years old
- 10 open pull request
- 37 issues open, long lasting one
- huge number of forks
If anyone switched to another alternative, please share this information with us.
It's perfectly fine to ask questions here. The project is not dead, however my spare time is currently very limited and does not allow me significant maintenance work on it.
I really appreciate pull requests, and there are some really great ones here which I'd like too see merged, however they are conflicting each other which increases the required effort of work.
Any help is very welcome here.
@patric-r Thanks for the update. If we are lucky maybe some others will find more time to work on the project and give it a boost. If they prove worthy, maybe they can become maintainers.
Over the year jvmtop proved to be very useful to me.
How can I start contribute?
A pull request would be a good start OR looking at the pull requests and merging them all together within one branch (in your repository clone) as they are currently conflicting when applying all of them together. Afterwards, I will look to get this into the project's official branch - Thanks! :)
I try to answer the question of an "alternative" to some extent.
I need jvmtop for Java 11.
If you click on "Insights" and then on "Network" you can see the forks of the different people. You can move the graph with your mouse! I have been looking for recent and many commits. I didn't get anywhere with "strapdata", but with "simplewayglobal":
Install Git and Maven/mvn.
git clone https://github.com/simplewayglobal/jvmtop.git
cd jvmtop/
mvn clean package
cd target/
ls -al
# look for the contents of jvmtop-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT.tar.gz
wget https://github.com/patric-r/jvmtop/files/4560705/jvmtop-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT.tar.gz
tar -xzvf jvmtop-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT.tar.gz
cd jvmtop-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT
./jvmtop.sh

I'm in a Java 11 container, it shows a few errors, but it works, woop-di-doo.
thanks. This is super helpful
