Notes for the QA on how to test the fix: 1) Start jconsole, the 'JConsole: New Connection' dialog will appear. 2) If the label is 'Usage: lt;hostnamegt;:...' then the test failed. If the label is 'Usage: <hostname>:...' then the test passed. 3) Choose the JConsole itself from the list of local processes and hit the 'Connect' button. If the app prompts for allowing an insecure connection, agree. The set of pages will be displayed. 4) If the Threads tab on the Overview page has 'ThreadTab.infoLabelFormat' label, then the test failed. If the label displays Live, Peak and Total values, then the test passed. 5) On the VM Summary page, if the Pending finalization value is the constant string '{0} objects', then the test failed. If the label is 'XX objects', where XX is a number without curly braces, then the test passed.
