Hi Dims - There is every interest in developing these sorts of tools. We plan to create useful example tools that will show how to use the API There is some existing tooling in the code that we get from IBM but we will be adding more.
I loosely classify the diagnostic tools space in two ways; what type of data the tool works with, and the range of its visualisation and analysis capabilities. If you do a crude mapping you end up with four quardrants Process data and Java runtime data vs visualisation and problem analysis. We'd like to have tools in all four quadrants. We were thinking of creating a tool to do basic native out of memory analysis, writing an adapter for the Eclipse Memory Analysis Tool , producing a JDI connector to allow exploration of a dump via your favourite java debugger client and , finally an explorer for process dumps.
