So, since now I need to install netbeans-platform8 in order to be able
to compile helloworld.java? It looks for me like one more redunant BR.
Correct me if I wrong
FYI Java VisualVM was first bundled with the the Java
platform, Standard
Edition (Java SE) in JDK version 6, update 7. [1]
IMHO
1) Java VisualVM will be very useful at the development time, e.g. if
your helloworld is the multithread remote Java application or Web
service :-)
2) The NetBeans platform [2] is not bad platform to support a tool for
data visualization.
BTW, there is a big collection of tools [3] usually used by Java
developers that are sharing this 6M byte-code of the NetBeans platform.
So, I think, it is not big overhead.
