The netx is searching for xmx, xms and few others. If it founds them,  then it spawn new JVM. Xdoc
is another one who will need to be added here. With exception of being mac only.

I moreover agree. Still the default is enabled+hidden.  So once you show it by purpose, it assumes
you are already developer, and thus you wish to see all the issues. and that means issues from both
runs. It could be read via some socket or pipe (as it was from plugin) but that can leak platform
independence with unwanted overhead.
