Jvmstat

The Jvmstat tools provide access to light-weight performance and configuration instrumentation exported by the Sun HotSpot JVM and displays the information in various formats. Tools include a general purpose command line tool called jvmstat, a java process list tool called jvmps, and a generational heap visualization tool called visualgc.

We've used in-house tools and JProfiler for similar work but if you're using Sun's 1.4.1.x JVM then jvmstat may be worth a look.
