I am currently starting my Java VM with the com.sun.management.jmxremote.* properties so that I can connect to it via JConsole for management and m
com.sun.management.jmxremote.*
I just tried
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.host=
with openjdk 1.8, and it works well. It binds to that addess (according to netstat) and all looks right (and works).
