Just discovered that jvisualvm.exe from jdk1.6.0_22 crashes with no apparent reason while starting up on my Vista x64 laptop. This is quite weird as yesterday I managed to start it many times without a problem, although there were two or three crashes. Not sure what has happened. Assuming that some of plug-ins may be corrupt I tried to remove the configuration under Application Data\.visualvm\6u20 folder. It started well a few times then again rejected to start. The same utility from jdk1.6.0_16 seems to operate well.
I am going to upgrade to jdk1.6.0_23 and see whether it solves the problem.
UPD Seems it is more stable in jdk1.6.0_23.
UPD #2
Here VisualVM dev team mention a Java bug that affects 64bit systems and they suggest adding "
-J-Dsun.java2d.d3d=false" to the command line as a solution.
UPD #3 In JDK1.6.0_23 this option is already provided by default in ${JDK_HOME}\lib\visualvm\etc\visualvm.conf.
