- On the virtual machine, create a folder for, and download the Java Profiler, unzip it:
mkdir yourkit (this makes the folder in the root user's home directory)
cd yourkit
wget http://www.yourkit.com/download/yjp-8.0.19.zip
unzip yjp-8.0.19.zip
- Generate a script that allows you to use the Yourkit tool from a remote location
java -jar /root/yourkit/yjp-8.0.19/lib/yjp.jar -integrate

Startup script to be used for profiling has been successfully created:
/usr/share/tomcat6/bin/startup_with_yjp.sh
- Create a dummy location for Tomcat Logs while YJP is running
mkdir /usr/share/tomcat6/logs
chown tomcat6:adm /usr/share/tomcat6/logs
- Install the Yourkit tool itself on a Windows machine
- Stop Tomcat, attempt to start it using this new script
/etc/init.d/tomcat6 stop
su tomcat6
/usr/share/tomcat6/bin/startup_with_yjp.sh
- It doesn't work -- Ubuntu's apt system installs a "bastardized" version of Tomcat that confuses the YourKit script
