Are you thinking to run some Java code in the target JVM?

VM.debug as presented here is all about inspecting JVM state, mostly using existing mechanisms but which were not already exposed in jcmd.  I think this could be extended in future if needed.  But I think executing arbitrary Java code is quite different and raises more questions.
