A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
The jconsole command line doesn't allow the specification of JVM properties. In particular, we use custom protocol handlers on our RMI JVMs and specify a codebase with -Djava.rmi.server.codebase that includs a custom protocol. We need to be able to tell jconsole -Djava.protocol.handler.pkgs=... to tell it where to look for these handlers. It would be nice to be able to specify a classpath too so that I don't have to put the protocol handler into jre/ext, where all users of the JVM are bit by some of the classes that it provides.

JUSTIFICATION :
Jconsole can not be used in our environment without this capability. I would imagine that there might be others that need to specify properties.
