Hi,

I am using jol-core under macOS 12.6 with Eclipse Temurin 19 
-Djdk.attach.allowAttachSelf -Djol.tryWithSudo=true and it is not able 
to attach itself:

WARNING: Unable to attach Serviceability Agent. Unable to attach even 
with escalated privileges: sudo: a terminal is required to read the 
password; either use the -S option to read from standard input or 
configure an askpass helper
sudo: a password is required

When manuall executing SenseAccessMain sun.jvm.hotspot.runtime.VM cannot 
be found and it thus exits with code 1:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: sun.jvm.hotspot.runtime.VM

Am I missing some point or do I really need to start my app as root?

Thanks,
Markus
