Even RI, which seems don't think too much on the classlib/VM modulazation, has the instrument.dll separated.
Ok I didn't know that RI has it separated. It is fine to me if it exists as an instrument.dll. Considering 3rd party launcher, I agree that it is convenient to put the
-javaagent parsing in VM directly, but then VM must be aware of the agent lib's name, though it may be fine because it is not likely for Harmony to change it frequently.
I agree. VM should know the name of this special agent. -- Gregory Shimansky, Intel Middleware Products Division
