Working on JConsole

Hi

I am starting to use JMX for remote system management. When I started using 
JConsole I noticed that it is not really userfriendly. I have several issues 
with it:

1) No i18n/L10n
Not everybody on this planet speaks English. I want to give customers a 
solution that speaks their language.

2) Unable to provide remote process and username per command line
It is very cumbersome to always have to type the remote process and the 
username when starting up JConsole. I want to be able to provide this 
information via command line options.

3) Remote process and username are not stored between sessions
The last remote process and username (or even a short list of currently used 
ones) should be saved and restored between several runs of JConsole. Typing 
this information in at every JConsole start is quite frustrating.

I have some experience developing Swing applications and I am quite confident 
that I could fix the issues. But before I start putting a lot of time and 
energy into this I would like to ask if this effort is appreciated or if my 
time is better spend somewhere else.

Please put me CC when responding as I am not (yet) subscribed to this list.

Best regards
