JDK tools.jar

Question

I am using the tools.jar of the JDK (more specifically Attach) in an application, however, according to my research the tools.jar cannot run in a JRE environment "because it depends on the JDK".

Is that right or is there some way to compile the application with the tools.jar and run the application in a JRE environment?

Answer 1

Solved by loading the attach.dll when starting the application.

System.load("path/attach.dll");
