All, The jvmstat implementation has three different protocols (file, local and rmi). These protocol implementations are currently loaded with Class.forName() using a specific scheme to create the class name. A more standard approach is to use ServiceLoader for this instead. This also makes it easier to break out different implementation classes for different packagings.
