jshell JVM arguments

[Richard Kolb]

Hi Michel,

Thanks very much.
This seems to set the argument on the JShellTool (in VisualVM) which I
assume it the REPL and not the RemoteAgent.
I assume the RemoteAgent the JVM process my jshell controls ?

If I run a "while(true){}" in jshell it is the RemoteAgent that consumes
CPU.

Or maybe I am confused :)

thanks,
Richard.
