New Candidate JEP: 451: Prepare to Disallow the Dynamic Loading of Agents

[Iris Clark]

The following JEP with scope "SE" has been moved to the Candidate state:

  451: Prepare to Disallow the Dynamic Loading of Agents
  https://openjdk.org/jeps/451
    Summary: Issue warnings when agents are loaded dynamically into a
    running JVM. These warnings aim to prepare users for a future release
    which disallows the dynamic loading of agents by default in order to
    improve integrity by default. Serviceability tools that load agents at
    startup will not cause warnings to be issued in any release.

A JEP in the Candidate state is a feature deemed worthy of consideration by
the JDK Project, but with no commitment to deliver the feature in any
particular release of the JDK Project. Later, the JEP may be moved to the
Targeted state, which indicates that the feature is expected to appear in a
specific release of the JDK Project.  For more information about states, see
the JEP Process document:

    https://openjdk.org/jeps/1

A JEP with "SE" scope that reaches the Targeted state will be listed in the
Specification of the Java SE Platform JSR which corresponds to the targeted
JDK Project release.

A dashboard that lists JEPs with "SE" scope may be found via a link on this
page:
