I don't know what b223 is but I just checked my (up to date) build of 
jdk7u/jdk7u-osx and the attach API is in tools.jar as expected. I also 
checked jstack and jmap (they use the attach API) and these tools are 
attaching to running VMs which proves that the mechanism is working. The 
tests cited in the above JIRA are probably not going to pass through, 
this is because networking (when IPv6 is enabled) is temporarily broken. 
I expect Michael will sort that out quickly once he gets back after the 
holidays.
