I've noticed Harmony launcher doesn't support -javaagent startup option. That option is a part of J2SE5 spec [1], so it probably should be supported.
The java.lang.instrument package (the option is part of) exists in Harmony classlib, and the question of having the option support has quite a story in discussion [2] [3], but the option is not yet supported. There's even a JIRA issue [4] for this problem for IBM VME. What is the status for this for DRLVM/launcher? Shouldn't we have a JIRA for it? Why I'm asking: Geronimo uses that option and provides it's own jpa.jar. The option may be easily omitted, so it's not a big problem, but it'd be good to understand the situation. Thanks!
