I'm not aware of any current activity on this in OpenJDK. One thing 
about the JEP is that it didn't make the case clear as to why the 
adapter needed to be in the JDK. There are also several existing JMX 
adapters that support REST and it would have been useful to evaluate 
those and maybe explore what the pain points and issues are with 
deploying these solutions. It might be that the -Dcom.sun.management 
mechanism to start the JMX agent needs to be improved, maybe it should 
be integrated with -javaagent, maybe the pluggability of the JMX agent 
just needs to be improved.
