Right, no need to change anything there. MBeanServer's spec was changed by JEP 486 to still allow a security exception when access is not authorized. DiagnosticCommandMBean still supports permissions. Kevin Walls is doing a clean-up pass over the java.management and jdk.management to remove vestiges of the security manager but I don't know if he plans to check the VM code.
