Hi Marshall,

the jmxgui is currently not maintained, you need
to do some coding to get it running again.
Please use the jconsole or HTTP access as described in
http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/admin.jmx.html
(take the newest xmlBlaster from svn)

You can also use a tool like HP-OpenView or many other monitoring tools
which support JMX,

thanks
Marcel
