The Core Dump node is visible in the Applications window if VisualVM is running on Solaris or Linux. Generally, VisualVM can only open a core dump if the core dump was taken on the same machine. A core dump contains informaton on the Java Development Kit (JDK) and kernel of the machine where the core dump was taken. To open the core dump in VisualVM, this information must match the JDK software and kernel of the local system.
Tu peux t'installer un environnement similaire à celui de production avec virtualbox par exemple.
