What are the pros/cons of adding the following to java options when running
app in/on TomEE via (Windows) service?

-javaagent:C:\apache-tomee-plus-1.6.0-SNAPSHOT\lib\openejb-javaagent.jar

I recognized that NetBeans adds this automatically to java options, when I
start TomEE via netBeans. I recognized this while trying to get the
Sampler>Memory button enabled in Java Visual VM for TomEE running as
Windows service on production server[1].

So, I added openejb-javaagent.jar to java options, and that did not solve
the problem (and after some research, sampler>memory button will be
enabled, if tomee-running-as-service and java visual vm...are the same
'user'...that's my assumption, at least).

So, back to the question, what are the pros/cons of adding
openejb-javaagent.jar to java options of tomee-running-as-service?

Thanks,
Howard
