Good question. I just spent 30 minutes looking for it and I don't even
want it! It must be in the OEM area, but I can't find it. Good luck!

I've got the licenses. I just need the software to use with the 10.2
OEM java console.
Anybody know where it is?

I just found the following in the 10.2 documentation on
licensing for the Diagnostics Pack
(http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/license.102/b14199/op
tions.htm#CIHHIGBI):
Oracle Diagnostic Pack
The Oracle Diagnostic Pack provides automatic performance
diagnostic and advanced system monitoring functionality. The Diagnostic
Pack includes the following features:
<blah, blah, blah>
In order to use the features listed above, you must purchase
licenses for the Diagnostic Pack. The Diagnostics Pack functionality can
be accessed by Enterprise Manager links as well as through the database
server command-line APIs. The use of either interface requires a
Diagnostic Pack license.
Command-Line APIs
Diagnostics Pack features can also be accessed by way of
database server APIs and command-line interfaces:
* The DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPOSITORY package is part of this
pack.
* The DBMS_ADVISOR package is part of this pack if you
specify ADDM as the value of the advisor_name parameter, or if you
specify for the value of the task_name parameter any value starting with
the ADDM prefix.
* The V$ACTIVE_SESSION_HISTORY dynamic performance view
is part of this pack.
* All data dictionary views beginning with the prefix
DBA_HIST_ are part of this pack, along with their underlying tables.
* All data dictionary views with the prefix DBA_ADVISOR_
are part of this pack if queries to these views return rows with the
value ADDM in the ADVISOR_NAME column or a value of ADDM* in the
TASK_NAME column or the corresponding TASK_ID.
* The following reports found in the /rdbms/admin/
directory of the Oracle home directory are part of this pack:
awrrpt.sql, awrrpti.sql, addmrtp.sql, addmrpti.sql, awrrpt.sql,
awrrpti.sql, addmrpt.sql, addmrpti.sql, ashrpt.sql, ashrpti.sql,
awrddrpt.sql, awrddrpi.sql, awrsqrpi.sql, awrsqrpt.sql.
Am I the only one that thinks this is ridiculous? Why does
Oracle include all this functionality and then tell you that you can't
use it unless you have a separate license? I guess it's just a sleezy
sales tactic, just like a car salesman letting you test drive a car that
he knows costs more than you said you want to spend, but how can they
expect us to know which views, scripts, procedures, etc. are off-limits?
It's one thing to be using OEM and know that you can't click on anything
in the Diagnostics Pack menu, but knowing all the different objects in
the database that you can't use and keeping up with them all from
version to version and release to release is impossible. Can I get an
amen brothers & sisters?!?

I understand that the Diagnostic Pack is a separately licensed
product.
It should be available on OTN.
