Well I accidentially miscompleted my command line and installed jconsole isntead of jvisualvm,
However after taking a look at it, I would say its more advanced, and offers some cool features, like non heap memory tracking. The ability to see the current stack traces for every thread, detailed gc information. (What types of collect where done, and how long did each took). And an gui to access all defined Management Beans directly.
Thought it might be worth a look for everyone using a openjdk based enviroment already:)
