VirtualMachine in tools.jar

[Henri Tremblay]

Hi,

I don't know if that was discussed before. If yes, I'm sorry to be
redundant.

I had the problem yesterday while playing with JMX and thought it could be
of interest.

Are there any plans to move some code from tools.jar to the JDK?

Specifically, I'm thinking about the VirtualMachine object. When connecting
with JMX, you can connect in remote using the JDK but if you want to
connect using the PID, it seems that you absolutely need tools.jar.

I find this discrepancy quite odd and would like to have your thoughts
about that.

Thanks
Henri
