I was wondering if you could explain why the man pages for visualvm
(which has its own repository) are part of the JDK? Wouldn't it make
much more sense to keep the man pages with the rest of visulvm? The
visualvm launcher is maintained there, so it would be easier to keep the
man pages consistent with the launcher. The proprietary JDK can install
the man pages along with the rest of visualvm, of course.

I must be missing something.

Thanks,
Omair
