Its README describes it as a command-line alternative to `jconsole` for accessing a Java MBean server without a graphical environment. ### Project history The Maven project metadata gives JMXTerm an inception year of 2008, while the GitHub repository was created in June 2011. The project settled into a simple executable-jar model: download the uberjar, run it with `java -jar`, and enter an interactive shell. The repository release metadata shows a 1.0.0 release in 2017 and a 1.0.4 release in 2022. The documentation pages cover source access, features, manual usage, scripting, and frequently asked questions. ### Adoption history Jmxterm has a smaller packaging footprint than JMeter, but the input metadata records Homebrew and Scoop packaging. That fits its role as a focused operational tool: Java engineers and operators install it when they need terminal access to JMX/MBeans on machines where a GUI is unavailable or inconvenient. ### How it is used Jmxterm opens an interactive console with commands for inspecting and manipulating MBeans. The README's one-minute tutorial starts the uberjar, enters the prompt, and uses `help` or command-specific help such as `help get` to discover operations. The README also says it can be embedded in Perl, shell, and Python workflows, which makes it useful for scripting JMX access from non-Java automation. ### Why package nerds care Jmxterm is package-nerdy because it turns a Java management interface often associated with GUI tools into a scriptable terminal command. It is a small operational bridge between Java applications, shell automation, and package-managed admin toolkits. ### Timeline - 2008: Maven metadata lists the project inception year. - 2011: The GitHub repository is created. - 2017: GitHub release metadata records v1.0.0. - 2022: GitHub release metadata records v1.0.4. ### Related projects - Jmxterm is related to Java JMX tooling and `jconsole`; the README explicitly frames it as a command-line alternative to `jconsole` and notes that it relies on the `jconsole` library at runtime. ### Sources - Project README, Maven POM metadata, documentation files, GitHub repository metadata, GitHub release metadata, and Homebrew formula metadata. ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Geiger risk:** blue / medium - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** jmxterm - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Scoop - main/jmxterm: normalized package name match | Scoop official bucket manifest trees: bucket/jmxterm.json from https://api.github.com/repos/ScoopInstaller/Main/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [openjdk](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/openjdk/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [jhiccup](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/jhiccup/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, java, monitoring. - [bnd](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/bnd/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, java. - [byteman](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/byteman/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, java. - [cfr-decompiler](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cfr-decompiler/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, java. - [checkstyle](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/checkstyle/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, java. - [fastjar](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/fastjar/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, java. - [gcviewer](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gcviewer/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, java. - [helidon](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/helidon/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, java. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
