An NPE in ConnectorBootstrap is preventing the out-of-the-box management agent to initialize and start.

EVALUATION Need to check for null value in the call Agent.getManagementProperties().

WORK AROUND This problem only shows up when the management agent is loaded through the Attach API. In order to workaround this problem just start the java application with the -Dcom.sun.managment.jmxremote option enabled (or any of the other management options available).
