Closing out this discussion thread about GEODE-6183:
We believe that the machine performed an update of Java during the test.
This caused the tools.jar to be unavailable only while this test was
executing. There are many other tests that use the Attach API which passed
in this overall CI job
The Attach API is optional for Users running the product.
The Attach API is required to compile the classes that use the Attach API
and to run tests that cover this feature (such as "--pid").

To transition away from Attach API, the community needs a proposal to do so
and we'll need to deprecate the GFSH options that depend on Attach API such
as "--pid" in "status server --pid 20938". Even then we're looking at a
minimum of one major release before we can remove options after they are
The Liberica JDK does not include the Attach API. I'm investigating why. Given
the inherent insecurity of this API, I recommend we transition away from using
it.
