Oracle JRockit is now free, but ...

Oracle announce that the usage of the Oracle JRockit JVM is now free :-) See Oracle News: http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/press/173782

Sounds really good, but ... there is a small restriction inside this news announcement:
Premium offerings such as JRockit Mission Control, JRockit Real Time, Java for Business and Enterprise Support will continue to be made available for an additional charge
So only the core functionalities are free of charge, the cool features like Mission Control or Real Time still have to be paid :-(

  2. Hi Dirk

    JRockit Mission Control is free for development use. During phase of development, this product is very useful to detect bottleneck that could be improved during the development lifecycle.
