Comments
EVALUATION Must be provided ###@###.### 10/4/04 01:02 GMT As part of the attach feature (6173612) we have updated JVMTI so that the can_redefine_class capability can be obtained in the live phase. If sharing is disabled then can_redefine_all_classes can be obtained in the live phase too. ###@###.### 2005-03-18 14:04:54 GMT
