Hi, I'm working on a java applet, and I was wondering where the heck System.out was going in Ubuntu/OpenSUSE. In windows, I just pull up jconsole, but I've not found this in Ubuntu/OpenSUSE.
Thanks.

Run the command jcontrol. On the Advanced tab expand Java console and select Show console. Restart Firefox and the console should open the next time you open a Java applet in the browser.

This requires a host and port (sudo apt-get install julius). jcontrol localhost says connection refused.

jcontrol does neither require a host nor a port. It's a simple UI application. Do you have a Xserver running? Sounds like it cannot connect to the Xserver. Can you run xclock?

And what's 'julius'? jcontrol is part of the Sun JRE/JDK.

Is jcontrol just not on the path, then? Yick.

Ah, I see. jcontrol in ubuntu pulls up misleading information. I needed to setup the jdk on my test machines.

Well, on my Ubuntu intrepid it's on the path. There is a symlink in /usr/bin/jcontrol. What does 'locate jcontrol' or 'which jcontrol' say? jcontrol is part of sun-java6-bin. Do you have this package installed?

I installed sun-java6-jdk and I was good to go. If you type "jcontrol" without the jdk installed, you're directed to the julius package.

Also, you can run firefox from the terminal to see jconsole output. Jconsole output goes to firefox's standard out.

Unlike the `jcontrol` solution, this works with OpenJDK as well. Thanks!
