      Description

        In JDK 18, attempting to run jstatd results in the following:

        $ jstatd
        Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: The Security Manager is deprecated and will be removed in a future release
        at java.base/java.lang.System.setSecurityManager(System.java:416)
        at jdk.jstatd/sun.tools.jstatd.Jstatd.main(Jstatd.java:136)

        The workaround is to allow setting the security manager property on the command line to allow programmatic setting of the security manager:

        $ jstatd -J-Djava.security.manager=allow

        Alternatively, the security manager could be enabled directly on the command line:

        $ jstatd -J-Djava.security.manager

        Either works, though they give different warning messages.

        The property should be set by the jstatd launcher instead of requiring the user to provide it.
