lang-management modification - it may break customer application?

 Hi Jing,

I'm including the serviceability-dev mailing list as
java.lang.management is a serviceability feature.

If it's accessed via an MBeanServer, this should not make any difference
since both LoggingMXBean and PlatformLoggingMXBean defines the same
attributes.

This should work in both JDK 6 and JDK 7. A regression test in the JDK
explicitly
checks this method retains the same behavior:

        LoggingMXBean proxy =
            ManagementFactory.newPlatformMXBeanProxy(mbs,
                LogManager.LOGGING_MXBEAN_NAME,
                LoggingMXBean.class);

See

Do you have a test case reproducing IAE?
