How to Find or Create Java Agent JAR

Home 2025.08

The /path/to/java-agent.jar in your code is just a placeholder — there’s no official, universal “Java Agent” JAR you can download that contains com.example.Agent.

Where you get the actual JAR depends entirely on what Java agent you want to connect to:

1. If this is your own Java agent

You need to write and build it in Java.
Create a Java project with the package com.example and a class Agent that implements getJVMInfo(), getMemoryUsage(), and getThreadInfo().
Compile it and package it into a JAR with something like Maven or Gradle.
Example Maven command:
```
mvn clean package
```
After build, you’ll find java-agent.jar in the target/ directory.

2. If it’s part of a specific monitoring/profiling tool

Tools like VisualVM, Java Mission Control, YourKit, or New Relic have their own agent JARs.
You’ll need to download that tool’s package from its website and look for the agent JAR inside its lib or agent folder.
For example, YourKit’s agent is often named something like yjpagent.jar.

3. If it’s from a GitHub or open-source project

Search for the project repository that defines com.example.Agent.
Clone the repo and build it into a JAR.

Example:

git clone https://github.com/username/java-agent.git
cd java-agent
mvn package

4. If you just want to test your Python–Java JPype connection

You can create a minimal Java agent class yourself and compile it:

package com.example;

public class Agent {
    public String getJVMInfo() {
        return System.getProperty("java.version");
    }
    public String getMemoryUsage() {
        return Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemory() + " free / " +
               Runtime.getRuntime().totalMemory() + " total";
    }
    public String getThreadInfo() {
        return Thread.activeCount() + " active threads";
    }
}

Then compile and JAR it:

javac com/example/Agent.java
jar cf java-agent.jar com/example/Agent.class

If you want, I can write you a working Java agent source code that exactly matches the Python interface you wrote, so you can compile it into java-agent.jar and run your script immediately. Would you like me to prepare that?
