Right, to be clear it's not JConsole's fault. The early part of JConsole's

...and when it is running with an older JDK,
RMIConnector.addListenerWithSubject() would create a new array of Subjects,
containing what it was given (which is null).
It passes on the array, and then is going to get the

i.e. Older client code passing a null Subject, actually "promotes" it to an
array and hits the Exception, although it really is not trying to use the
removed feature.
This problem is specifically with addListenerWithSubject.
