Hi Gary,
What would be really useful are some before/after examples that
demonstrate what has changed from the users point of view.
thanks,
Chris

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.
