Adding JMX to Tomcat 6.0.29 and starting with the startup.bat will add a Tomcat icon and show the process ID, under the Local connection, when launching jvisualvm.exe Adding JMX to Tomcat via the tomcat6w.exe doesn't display the Tomcat icon or the process id in jvisualvm.exe, and I have to add the JXM connection myself. What is the difference? How do I configure the tomcat6w.exe to show the icon and process id in jvisualvm.exe?
