Description
A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
The graph and state data collected by jconsole should persist even when it is disconnect from the application.  The frame window should not close when connectivity is lost due to crashes or exits on the remote side.  The data should only be discard when the user closes the frame window.

JUSTIFICATION :
In the event of an application crash useful information may be lost.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
When the application being monitored exits, the jconsole Window should retain the last known state of everything and pause since no data is coming in.
ACTUAL -
The frame window closes automatically and discards all information collected during monitoring.

Comments
EVALUATION This is not reproducible in JDK 6. The fix was introduced with the new connection dialog for CR 6245902.
