Anissa,
I don't know the answers here, but I like the idea. Tell the user:
- JDK version
- 32 bit or 64 bit
- key settings like maximum memory
I think you should file an RFE.
I poked around in the JDK MBeans. You can get the version from the
java.lang:type=Runtime MBean as getVmVersion();
kmxcmd> get V*
---java.lang:type=Runtime---
VmName=Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
VmVendor=Apple Inc.
VmVersion=1.5.0_16-133
Also useful:
jmxcmd> get *
---java.lang:type=OperatingSystem---
Arch=i386
AvailableProcessors=2
CommittedVirtualMemorySize=1378996224
FreePhysicalMemorySize=1323405312
FreeSwapSpaceSize=67108864
MaxFileDescriptorCount=10240
Name=Mac OS X
OpenFileDescriptorCount=0
ProcessCpuTime=4090000000
TotalPhysicalMemorySize=4294967296
TotalSwapSpaceSize=67108864
Version=10.5.5
