title: Why java8 server JRE do not contain server specific tools like jstack, jmap, jvisualvm, jstat
body: <p>From <a href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/server-jre8-downloads-2133154.html" rel="noreferrer">oracle</a> </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The Server JRE includes tools for JVM monitoring and tools commonly
    required for server applications, but does not include browser
    integration (the Java plug-in).</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>From the server side tools usage, the list of tools which tops for monitoring are jstack, jvisualvm, jstat, jconsole; all are missing from the jdk/bin of server jre bundle.</p>
  
  <p>Any idea of the rational behind this bundling.</p>
  
  <h1>Edit</h1>
  
  <p>This is the case only for "server jre 8". For "server jre 7" all these tools where present.</p>
