Hi,

Not sure where I should post this, but I've just hit this bug with Java 8

java version "1.8.0_31"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_31-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.31-b07, mixed mode)

# update-alternatives --config java
There is 1 choice for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java).

  Selection Path Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
  0 /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre/bin/java 20012 auto mode
* 1 /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre/bin/java 20012 manual mode

# uname -a
Linux java-test-1 3.13.0-45-generic #74-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jan 13 19:36:28 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I had to do the workaround (by creating the symlink) in order for VisualVM to see the data coming from the running JVM.

I would be happy to move/report this issue if someone could suggest a more appropriate area to post in.

Thank you.
