just discovered this project, and I'm trying to figure out how to get started and what the preferred path to installation is. is there a downloadable jar? or do I have to build it myself?

Hi, thanks for your suggestion. The installation is quite easy: Just click on the Releases tab, download the most recent tar.gz, extract it on your machine and run jvmtop.sh (linux/unix) or jvmtop.bat (windows).

I'll think about improving the documentation. Suggestions are very welcome.

I doubt it needs to be much more than that. Honestly the "releases" tab is less obvious on github since they moved to pure iconifry, and most thing I install with Java are on maven central. honestly I'm not actually sure how to navigate to the releases tab, so thanks for the link.

yeah i agree - i think all you need to do is add "Download the latest release here, then run jvmtop.sh" to your readme, and you're good. I just downloaded it and thought I had to build it. I built it but wasn't sure how to run it and was about to add an issue myself for this, so same prob here ;-) Thanks!

Good point, changed it accordingly. Thank you.
