Debuggers

IDE debuggers (IntelliJ, Eclipse, NetBeans) – breakpoints, step-through, watch variables.

jdb – Command-line Java debugger.

JVM Monitoring & Profiling Tools

JConsole – Real-time monitoring of threads, memory, CPU.

Java Mission Control (JMC) – Advanced profiling and analysis.

VisualVM – Profiling CPU, memory usage, garbage collection.

jstat – JVM statistics.

jstack – Thread dumps.

jmap – Memory maps, heap dumps.

jcmd – Swiss-army-knife for JVM diagnostics.
