A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
The -XX:ErrorFile hotspot option was added as part of JDK 1.6. I would be nice if this could be backported to an update for JDK 1.4 and 1.5 since these are still many users. It may also make sense to enhance this features slightly to work like the -XX:HeapDumpPath option so the user can specify the path instead of a hardcoded filename.
This feature was documented int eh following tickets:
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4872551
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=5107646
JUSTIFICATION :
Older JDK environments can redirect the hs_err_pid<pid>.log file to a custom output directory/file.
