AttachNotSupportedException while running jMockit tests on IBM JRE

Question

I am getting the below exception when I try to run a simple jMockit/JUnit test using IBM JDK. Has anyone faced this issue? I tried given -Dcom.ibm.tools.attach.enable=

Answer 1

Certain versions of the IBM JDK do not properly support the attach mechanism. You might try running with -javaagent:jmockit.jar parameter. The following info is a bit old, but it may still apply as other JDKs do not necessarily fully support the attach mechanism.
