I like the dumps that are given when various letters are pressed in the JRE
1.3.0_01 plugin console. I also have application code which will dump its
thread stacks and monitor lists when it is sent a SIGQUIT signal. This is
instrumental in finding deadlock problems. It would be nice to have a command
in the plugin console that would do the same thing as a SIGQUIT, and dump the
stacks of all the thread, and the monitor watch list. One command for each of
these dumps would be fine too.

Here is the list of current commands which I would like to have this
functionality added to:

Java(TM) Plug-in: Version 1.3.0_01
Using JRE version 1.3.0_01 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
  User home directory = C:\WINNT\Profiles\AndrewE

Proxy Configuration: no proxy



----------------------------------------------------
c: clear console window
f: finalize objects on finalization queue
g: garbage collect
h: display this help message
l: dump classloader list
m: print memory usage
q: hide console
s: dump system properties
t: dump thread list
x: clear classloader cache
0-5: set trace level to <n>
----------------------------------------------------

The thread list does not include the threads' stacks. There is no way to dump
the monitor list, which shows the list of locked objects, and the threads which
are waiting for them to unlock.
