The Coherence-VisualVM Plugin provides management and monitoring of a single Coherence cluster using the VisualVM management utility. The Plugin is an ideal tool for monitoring and managing Coherence clusters during the development and testing lifecycle and supports connecting to both Community Edition and Commercial versions of Coherence

This release is significant in that the Plugin is now available to be installed directly from VisualVM in versions 2.0.4 or later. VisualVM can be downloaded from https://visualvm.github.io/.
