Release Note: Attach API cannot be used to attach to the current VM by default

    • Verified

      The implementation of Attach API has changed in JDK 9 to disallow attaching to the current VM by default. This change should have no impact on tools that use the Attach API to attach to a running VM. It may impact libraries that mis-use this API as a way to get at the java.lang.instrument API. The system property `jdk.attach.allowAttachSelf` may be set on the command line to mitigate any compatibility with this change.
