Please, review the following change Issue : https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8054890 Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jbachorik/8054890/webrev.00
This patch is about adding 2 new diagnostic commands - VM.set_flag and JVMTI.data_dump.
VM.set_flag allows to set any writeable flag. It takes the flag name and the flag value in textual form. The mutability of the flag and the value format checks are forwarded to the shared vm management code.
JVMTI.data_dump will send the data dump request to JVMTI. Both of these commands are covered by the corresponding tests. Thanks, -JB-
