I agree with Alan not to support jconsole -pluginpath with modules since 
VisualVM essentially is a replacement for it.   I'm not sure if jconsole 
should run in classpath mode though. I doubt if there are many jconsole 
plugins out there.  Can we launch jconsole in classpath mode only if 
-pluginpath is set?
