VisualVM is an interesting tool, and the fact you don’t have to instrument your applications to use it is rather nice. Real-time monitoring of you application is very nice and the ability to take snapshots or heap dumps is also very useful, but their heap analysis tool needs some work.
Compared to some other heap analysis tools I’ve used VisualVM needs a lot of work. Having said that being able to take heap dumps as you manipulate a system in real-time is very useful, and then using another analysis tool seems like the best option (note I haven’t tried using another analyzer with visualVM’s heap dump.)

As we’ve been slowly winding down BlogMatrix for sometime, I decided to move my own blogs to my own domain and server. Having access to everything allowed me to write a BlogMatrix to Wordpress converter.
I also had the relevant addresses redirected to my server, so techdetails.blogmatrix.com -> techdetails.agwego.com, which posed an issue with respect to permalinks, so with a little Wordpress hacking I was able to write a pseudo BlogMatrix to Wordpress permalink converter so most links will now work as expected. I have a complete duplicate site setup at home replete with DNS for testing purposes.
I’m still getting use to Wordpress but so far it’s not too bad.
