Hi all,
I think RDP1 has been started.
Cannot I fix this?

"P4-P5 bugs should, in general, be left to future releases unless they
only affect documentation, demos, or tests, in which case they should be
identified as such with the "noreg-doc", "noreg-demo", and "noreg-self"
labels, respectively." [1]

This is due to the need to stabilize changes as we head towards GA.

I think you would have to justify why this should be a P3 rather than P4 
issue. Is this something specific to code added in 9? If so that is 
motivation as we should not have a new feature with known bugs if we can 
avoid it. But if this already exists in JDK 8 and is a long standing 
"bug" ...

This problem is that jcmd shows incorrect status when JVMTI agent cannot
be attached.
I think this problem should be fixed in 9 GA.
The users who want.to attach JVMTI agent want to know
whether it succeed.

    Thanks David!
    I removed it in new webrev.

            Hi all,

            If we try to attach invalid JVMTI agent via JVMTI.agent_load
            dcmd, we
            will get
            "Command executed successfully". However, it implies error in
            JVMTIAgentLoadDCmd.

            This message is from JCmd.java when jcmd does not receive
            output from
            target VM.
            So we should send error message from JVMTIAgentLoadDCmd.

            I uploaded a webrev for it. Could you review it?

        This seems reasonable.

            I cannot access JPRT.
            So I need a sponsor.
