Compared with the user's own implementation of a DiagnosticCommandMBean, the main benefits of this extension are: Users can directly use `jcmd` to invoke (better user experience, of course, users can also invoke through a jmx client like jconsole), and use `jcmd pid help` to list all VM commands and user-defined commands. And all parameters or options are pre-parsed, making the implementation of the command simpler and focusing on their own logic. I am not an expert in the security field, but I feel that implementing a DiagnosticCommandMBean by the users does not seem to be more secure than the method in the proposal. I mean the users can still do whatever they want. Just like Chris said, it seems that not many people are interested in this proposal. I plan to close this PR first. If there are any others who want this in place, we can continue to discuss it in the RFC thread of this proposal. Denghui, Thanks ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/5938
