While reviewing docs for JBDS 5 (JBDS-2029) I came upon the chapter describing how to make a JMX connection to Equinox Resource Monitoring which provides a JMX server for management of running plugins. It turned out the monitoring feature apparently never made it out of the eclipse incubator and I found no way how to download it and install in Eclipse. The project page is here:
http://www.eclipse.org/equinox/incubator/monitoring/index.php
We decided that for the time being we will remove this from our JMX Guide and Rob asked for this JIRA to investigate what else can be done here.
