Trouble setting up visualvm on Mac Eclipse

Question

I'm using Eclipse Juno on Mac 10.9.1. I just downloaded the VisualVM (137) app and installed the corresponding Eclipse plugin. However, I'm having a problem configuring the Eclipse pluign. When I go to Preferences -> Run/Debug -> Launching -> VisualVM Configuration, I enter

/Applications/VisualVM.app

as the path to the VisualVm Executable. However, I get this error message

Invalid VisualVM installation location.  Make s…file selected exists and is indeed a VisualVM

and I'm unable to save my configuration. I've verified the path above exists. What path should I be entering for my Visual VM executable?

Answer 1

Try to use /Applications/VisualVM.app/Contents/MacOS/visualvm as the path to the VisualVM executable.
