I need reviews for the following CSR:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8223456
Note that this CSR is for a feature which already was commited to JDK 12.
I think this feature needs to be re-examined, maybe backed out or the
onjcmd sub-option hidden from the help output if we can't get agreement
before JDK 13 RDP1. It's unfortunate that it was pushed to JDK 12
without a CSR because that would have been the opportunity to ask
questions. The problem with this feature is that it ties the debugger
agent to a unrelated JDK-specific tool. It feels like it conflates two
things. So I think the "feature" needs to be re-discussed to see
whether the scenario is really compelling and to see the list of
alternatives that were explored.
