Using the JVMTI

JVMTI is a two-way interface that allows communication between the JVM and a native agent. It replaces the JVMDI and JVMPI interfaces.

Java Virtual Machine Tool Interface (JVMTI) allows third parties to develop debugging, profiling, and monitoring tools for the JVM. The interface contains mechanisms for the agent to notify the JVM about the kinds of information it requires. The interface also provides a means of receiving the relevant notifications. Several agents can be attached to a JVM at any one time.
