JVM flags: product -> manageable ?

[Srinivas Ramakrishna]

Thanks for the prompt response, Staffan!

One question is re support of existing flags (in particular GC flags) and
their toggling via the
existing jmap interface. I am sure that will be detailed in the JEP in
progress.
In the much shorter term, I was wondering if the step of changing the
trivially changeable
GC-logging flags could be accomplished, since that would really involve a
quick audit and some
really quick performance numbers to ascertain that something unexpected did
not happen,
so should be relatively lightweight....

thoughts/comments?
