java8 jstack,Java 1.8中的jstack / jmap替代

With the 1.8 release, jstack and jmap (and probably others) have been removed from some java distributions (i.e. the windows distribution still has them, but they are not present on linux distributions).

Oracle says they are experimental, and hence, they can be removed at any time.

However, I've found these little tools extremely helpful in the past, for debugging. For example I often use jstack to print the list of threads within a particular java process, etc.

Question : Do you know of any alternatives to them, or did Oracle simply removed them without providing anything instead ?

Edit 1

Apparently, this happens in the "server JRE" version (like this one http://download.oracle.com/otn/java/jdk/8u51-b16/server-jre-8u51-linux-x64.tar.gz), but not in the JDK versions.

This is different than java 1.7, where server JRE also included those files.

While the reasoning behind this now makes a lot more sense, I'm still wondering if there's alternative tools like jmap/jstack in server JRE (it seems a bit troublesome to install a jdk on a server, just to look at some thread info)

I am not sure where you are getting info that they are removed from linux distributions. The latest JDK_1.8.0_60 I installed still has them.

If it goes away, jconsole gets stack traces and alot more.

I got the standard download from Oracle's website:
