Hi all, JVMTI is on track to replace the older JVMPI and JVMDI interfaces. J2SE 5 supports JVMTI and JVMPI/JVMDI but future followons to J2SE are expected to remove support for the older interfaces. Tools vendors seem to be in the process of transitioning to the JVMTI interface. It does not really makes sense to invest too much effort in the Harmony project supporting the JVMPI interface. It would be much more effective to invest the effort making the JVMTI implementation more complete so that it includes more of the optional functionality of JVMTI.
I suggest that we concentrate our debug/tools interface work in Harmony to making JVMTI work really well and let JVMPI and JVMDI fall away. Regards, Chris Elford Intel Managed Runtime Division
