Thee are several reported problems using jcmd for obtaining heap dumps. Some users are confused by the positional argument for a filename when a similar jfr command uses "key=value" syntax. Some users are confused by the basic nature of the command, where the jvm executing the heap dump is running in a different current directory than the jcmd itself. This is a proposed fix to report the current directory and the filename when the heap dump is successfully written or if an error occurs. There is also a proposed fix to handle the case when the user provided "key=value" inputs. If the key matches the argument name, then the user intended the value to be used.
