I am trying to use visualVM for profiling a simple java application that I am debugging with Intellij. I start the application to debug, open visualVM, and I can see my application in the list. I can open it; however, I am unable to use sampling or profiling for my application. Other applications, such as Intellij, can be profiled just fine. When I check the visualVM logs I see:

INFO [com.sun.tools.visualvm.jmx.impl.JmxModelImpl]: connect(2749) com.sun.tools.attach.AttachNotSupportedException: Unable to open socket file: target process not responding or HotSpot VM not loaded

more information: Operating System = Mac OS X version 10.9.1 running on x86_64 Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_51; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 24.51-b03; Oracle Corporation Intellij IDEA = 13.0.2

if anyone has this working, please let me know how you got it. I would like to use the Intellij VisualVMLauncher as well if I can get it going.

Maybe this helps:

java -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote \
  -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9010 \
  -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.local.only=false \
  -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false \
  -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false \
  -jar xxx.jar
