I have a Ubuntu ( myapp01) server VM and a Java application is deployed there. The application works, and I would like to profile it using JVisualVM. To do this, I need to install X-Windows on my Windows 7 host, and then force Ubuntu VM to export its X11 connection to my host when I tell it to run JVisualVM on the virtual machine.
So, I started by downloading XMing here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/files/Xming/6.9.0.31/Xming-6-9-0-31-setup.exe/download
I used all the standard / recommended installation options, including using a regular PuTTy session and accessing the public and private network. After installing XMing, I ran it and verified that it was running on my Windows host. Then I opened Cygwin and SSHed on an Ubuntu server:
$ ssh myuser@myapp01
myuser@myapp01 password:
