Awesome!!! I love it. An eclipse plugin makes *way* more sense than
separate swing app.

Now I wonder, should this be shipped with harmony or should we make it
available as another tool?

Either way, I'm already +1 on accepting the patch because it would boost
the work on the java.lang.management.

Since this tool is dependent on nothing that is harmony specific, I
think it might be worthwhile starting up as a separate subproject
supervised by harmony... but I'm not sure this is kosher with the
current incubation guidelines.

Comments?
