    Description

      jcmd is a supported tool on 7u4 and later. However, the following document
      describes jcmd is an unsupported and Experimental tool. See (*1).

      Document Location
      =================
      "Experimental:" for jcmd should be removed and the description about jcmd
      should move to "Java Troubleshooting, Profiling, Monitoring and Management
      Tools" section.

      http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/tools/index.html

      Monitoring Tools

      You can use the following tools to monitor JVM performance statistics. The
      tools described in this section are unsupported and experimental, and should
      be used with that in mind. They may not be available in future JDK versions.

      Tool Name Brief Description
      jcmd _Experimental:_ JVM Diagnostic Commands tool ... <---- (*1)

      Also, jcmd does not appear in the "Standard JDK Tools and Utilities" category
      in header part of the page. jcmd should appear in the category.
