Description
RFE: JVMTI should support multiple independent and simultaneous agents

While there will be a unified interface for debugging and performance tools,
the tool designers should be able to write the consumers of the interface
completely independently, and multiple consumers should be able to coexist
so that the debugger can work on runs that are also being used to collect
performance data.

PUBLIC COMMENTS RFE: JVMTI should support multiple independent and simultaneous agents

EVALUATION The initial release of JVMTI provides support for multiple agents. However, more work and thought is needed to provide mechanisms whereby agents can co-exist without stomping on each other. This aspect is not considered a goal for the initial release, but is considered a goal of the next release. I am committing this rfe to Mustang. Also, changing the category to JVMTI. ###@###.### 2004-02-16
