Removal of the hprof agent interferes with my TLS performance work. I'm not complaining (removing cruft is always a good idea), I'm just providing a data point. If I understand VisualVM correctly, it is GUI-only, so it will not work in headless deployments. I'm not convinced that many production systems allow remote management access (direct support for SSH tunneling might address this concern, though). It's sometimes a challenge to get additional software installed in a production environment—and hprof is just a command line option away. I understand that hprof is not the best JVM profiler out there, but it has been pretty useful to me. -- Florian Weimer / Red Hat Product Security
