Connect Java Mission Control to Wildfly 16

I try to connect Java Mission Control (JMC) with Wildfly 16. Application server lays on Docker.
I successfully connected to wildfly via jconsole, to manage it I followed steps described here.
Unfortunately, I have no luck to connect via JMC. The URL which I use looks like this:
service:jmx:remoting-jmx://192.168.99.100:9990
I tried to set Xbootclasspath to jboss-cli-client.jar as it was described here, but I just get Unable to connect error.
I set the same jars, which are used for jconsole, but still I got Unable to connect.
I gave a try to adding flags on container site, as it was shown here, but with these flags, even wildfly haven't started.
Then, I found here the idea to hardcode some jboss classes to enable connection via remoting-jmx. I changed version of jars, according to these provided by wildfly16 and put it to jmc.ini like this.
-Xbootclasspath/a:"C:/Program Files/Java/jdk-10.0.2/lib/missioncontrol/dropins/jboss-cli-client.jar;C:/wildfly-16.0.0.Final/modules/system/layers/base/org/jboss/remoting-jmx/main/remoting-jmx-3.0.1.Final.jar;C:/wildfly-16.0.0.Final/modules/system/layers/base/org/jboss/remoting/main/jboss-remoting-5.0.8.Final.jar;C:/wildfly-16.0.0.Final/modules/system/layers/base/org/jboss/logging/main/jboss-logging-3.3.2.Final.jar;C:/wildfly-16.0.0.Final/modules/system/layers/base/org/jboss/xnio/main/xnio-api-3.6.5.Final.jar;C:/wildfly-16.0.0.Final/modules/system/layers/base/org/jboss/xnio/nio/main/xnio-nio-3.6.5.Final.jar;C:/wildfly-16.0.0.Final/modules/system/layers/base/org/jboss/marshalling/main/jboss-marshalling-2.0.6.Final.jar;C:/wildfly-16.0.0.Final/modules/system/layers/base/org/jboss/marshalling/river/main/jboss-marshalling-river-2.0.6.Final.jar;C:/wildfly-16.0.0.Final/modules/system/layers/base/org/jboss/as/cli/main/wildfly-cli-8.0.0.Final.jar;C:/wildfly-16.0.0.Final/modules/system/layers/base/org/jboss/staxmapper/main/staxmapper-1.3.0.Final;C:/wildfly-16.0.0.Final/modules/system/layers/base/org/jboss/as/protocol/main/wildfly-protocol-8.0.0.Final.jar;C:/wildfly-16.0.0.Final/modules/system/layers/base/org/jboss/dmr/main/jboss-dmr-1.5.0.Final.jar;C:/wildfly-16.0.0.Final/modules/system/layers/base/org/jboss/as/controller-client/main/wildfly-controller-client-8.0.0.Final.jar;C:/wildfly-16.0.0.Final/modules/system/layers/base/org/jboss/threads/main/jboss-threads-2.3.3.Final.jar;C:/wildfly-16.0.0.Final/modules/system/layers/base/org/jboss/logmanager/main/jboss-logmanager-2.1.7.Final.jar"
After that, finally, I have another error, which is
Could not initialize class org.jboss.remotingjmx.RemotingConnector
I added dependencies of remoting-jmx-3.0.1.Final to Xbootclasspath, but I got still the same error.
My question is, have you got any idea, how to make this connection works ? Maybe someone have done it in different way ?
Any advices how can i debug this problem, will be priceless? Because I'm lack of ideas how to solve it.

In %WILDFLY_HOME%\bin\standalone.conf.bat
put:
set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -XX:+FlightRecorder"
In jmc.ini below -vmargs put
-Xbootclasspath/a:C:\%wildfly_home%\bin\client\jboss-cli-client.jar
(%wildfly_home% is different of course, or just copy jboss-cli-client.jar to another directory and correct the path)
3. Run JMC, then Create New Connection - in Connection Properties pane push the button "Custom JMX service URL", put:
service:jmx:http-remoting-jmx://localhost:9990
In the credentials fields just put user and password, they should be created for Realm Management (e.g. using %wildfly_home%\bin\add-user.bat)
Hope this helps someone.

Solution doesn't work on java 11 for me. Mission control fails on connect to wildfly with error:

Besides, jmc that was embedded to jdk 8 isn't able to start flight recording for java 11 process.
So after investigation i found out that this class is loaded with bootstrap classloader. According to https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/261
jdk.security.jgss module isn't defined to bootstrap classloader. But classes in jboss-cli-client.jar(it originates from wildfly-elytron project) need jgss classes in runtime.
So i found out dirty workaround for this problem: bootstrap needed classes from jre 8 in jmc.ini. Full option for linux is:
-vmargs -Xbootclasspath/a:<path_to_wildfly>/jboss-cli-client.jar:<path_to_jdk8>/jre/lib/rt.jar
And for windows:
-vmargs -Xbootclasspath/a:<path_to_wildfly>\jboss-cli-client.jar;<path_to_jdk8>\jre\lib\rt.jar
after this jmc(run on 11 jdk) succesfully connects to wildfly(run on 11 jdk) and can start and analyze flight recordings.

Smart can't install...no package provides shared object file

Problem
I'm attempting to create a Bitbake recipe which will install Oracle JRE 8 onto my target OS.
I've tried to use metadata from meta-oracle-java, but had some difficulties due to one of the .inc files which are provided for general JREs has a JRE-7-specific URI.
I've changed some of the metadata from meta-oracle-java and created my own recipe to do this install.
Tests
A Build of the JRE Recipe by Itself
When building the recipe by itself:
bitbake oracle-jse-jre
The build completes without error. I've added a dependency on libav into the oracle-jse-jre recipe, so I can do the following from TMPDIR:
$ find . -name libavformat*so
./work/core2-64-poky-linux/libav/9.18-r0/sysroot-destdir/usr/lib/libavformat.so.54.20.4
./work/core2-64-poky-linux/libav/9.18-r0/sysroot-destdir/usr/lib/libavformat.so
./work/core2-64-poky-linux/libav/9.18-r0/sysroot-destdir/usr/lib/libavformat.so.54
./sysroots/genericx86-64/usr/lib/libavformat.so.54.20.4
./sysroots/genericx86-64/usr/lib/libavformat.so
./sysroots/genericx86-64/usr/lib/libavformat.so.54
Runtime Dependency Success
If I add the default package from the oracle-jse-jre recipe to RDEPENDS_${PN} of another recipe xenoros_0.1.bb, I can run bitbake xenoros and build without errors.
Core Image Failure
If I add xenoros to the IMAGE_INSTALL variable of a core-image-xenoros, the build fails with the following error:
ERROR: Unable to install packages.

Looking inside TMPDIR, I can find this:
/sysroots/genericx86-64/usr/lib/libavformat.so.54
It seems there's a version mismatch, where smart expects version 53, but 54 is provided.
Reverting libav's version
Just to test what's going on, I've made a recipe which fetches version 0.8.17 of libav (which uses version 53). When using this instead of 9.18, I have the exact opposite problem, that smart expects but can't find version 54.
Questions
How does smart determine the version number for these shared object files?
What about the do_rootfs() task causes the build to fail at this specific time?
Is there a simple resolution to my specific problem?

1) It's not smart, but rather rpmbuild, that is adding dependencies derived from the ELF DT_NEEDED field (see elfutils -a).
2) The do_rootfs() task is failing because of unresolved dependencies.
3) Since you are using Poky/Yocto and rpm5, there is a simple way to mask the issue (substituting whatever dependencies are causing you heartburn)
echo "unresoved_dependency" > /etc/rpm/sysinfo/Providename
That is just a band-aid; you still need to figure out the packaging issues rather than masking the underlying problem with how you are building rpm packages.

For anyone that still encounter this error: as stated in the README file of the meta-oracle-java repo
There are some known install problems for JRE packages due to dependencies reported by RPM package manager.
Switching to DEB or IPK packaging temporarily fixes this.
ie:
PACKAGE_CLASSES = "package_deb"
or
PACKAGE_CLASSES = "package_ipk"
in your 'local.conf' file

JRuby 9.0.5.0 cannot load compiled ruby files

Our application is a RoR app, and currently uses JRuby version 1.7.22, and JRE 8_65. Our app is an on-prem solution, so we use JRuby to host our application on JVM at the target, Windows Server 2012 R2 system. We compile our ruby code, using
jruby -S jrubyc
This takes the .rb file and compiles it to a .class file. In the original .rb, it loads in the class file, like so.
load __FILE__.sub(/\.rb$/, ".class")
This all works with JRuby 1.7.22
Now, we want to update JRuby to 9.0.5.0, but are experiencing some problems when it comes to deploying our application. Basically, that line of code above inside of the .rb file is not working anymore, and we get the error when trying to run a rake db:setup
rake aborted!
LoadError: C:/appname/app/models/app_attribute.class is not compiled Ruby; use java_import to load normal classes

Great. So I replace load with java_import

Still not working, no matter what I try. I looked at this post: https://github.com/jruby/jruby/issues/3018
I tried to pass the parameter
jruby -Xaot.loadClasses=true
But I get a warning saying that aot.LoadClasses is not recognized. EVEN THOUGH I see it in the properties when I type
jruby -Xproperties
I have done A LOT of research on this, and have probably have looked at everything on the internet regarding this. Any input will be greatly appreciated. Is there something I missing? I am not fully adept in Java.
Thank you.

might be the same issue as https://github.com/jruby/jruby/issues/3651
which means you'll need to wait for 9.1 or use a snapshot http://ci.jruby.org/
since, the error is slightly different you should look into reproducing with snapshot and if it fails (might be Windows related) a step-by-step reproduction might speed-up getting the issue resolved.
jruby -Xaot.loadClasses=true
this is not needed with Warbler
But I get a warning saying that aot.LoadClasses is not recognized. EVEN THOUGH I see it in the properties when I type
hmm, could you reproduce this with an empty script and no JRUBY_OPTS ?

you might want to try looking into the issue next time :) or considering getting some support

you shouldn't be missing anything - its not a Java issue ...

Android native linker wants file named libjpeg.so.62 specifically

I have a native library for my Android app that uses libjpeg-turbo. I am compiling the library and libjpeg-turbo using NDK. It all seems to be compiling and installing fine (I see all .so files on the phone in /data/data/com.company.app/lib ) and I am calling
System.loadLibrary("jpeg");
System.loadLibrary("zmq");
System.loadLibrary("MySuperLib");
System.loadLibrary("jnilibwrapper");
E/AndroidRuntime(8186): java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: dlopen failed:
could not load library "libMySuperLib.so" needed by "libjnilibrapper.so";
caused by could not load library "libjpeg.so.62" needed by
"libMySuperLib.so"; caused by library "libjpeg.so.62" not found
I found this workaround, making a symlink of the lib like so gets me passed this error
root#klteatt:/data/data/com.company.app/lib # ln -s libjpeg.so libjpeg.so.62
but of course that is not a solution.
Where could we be going wrong? Why is it wanting libjpeg.so.62 specifically?

The issue is caused by MySuperLib being linked with libjpeg-turbo's versioned soname at compile time. Android's JNI runtime does not currently support versioned dynamic libraries, which is why it cannot "find" libjpeg.so, since it only expects an unversioned soname.
One possible way to compile libjpeg-turbo without versioning information is to modify libjpeg-turbo's Makefile.am *LDFLAGS variable, which is passed to libtool. By changing the *LDFLAGS variable to contain libtool's -avoid-version flag, libtool will try to avoid creating libraries with the version information embedded. Creating unversioned shared libraries is usually a terrible idea, but since you can't actually "install" shared libraries on Android at this point, it is fairly safe since your MySuperLib library is the only one that will ever be using the unversioned libjpeg.so.
Here is an example of a patch to libjpeg-turbo's Makefile.am that will produce an unversioned libjpeg.so:
--- Makefile.am 2014-08-28 09:57:37.000000000 -0700
+++ Makefile.am.patched 2014-08-28 09:57:20.000000000 -0700
## -1,5 +1,5 ##
lib_LTLIBRARIES = libjpeg.la
-libjpeg_la_LDFLAGS = -version-info ${LIBTOOL_CURRENT}:${SO_MINOR_VERSION}:${SO_AGE} -no-undefined
+libjpeg_la_LDFLAGS = -avoid-version -no-undefined
include_HEADERS = jerror.h jmorecfg.h jpeglib.h
if WITH_TURBOJPEG

I'm attempting to deploy a google app to my google app engine account and eclipse is giving me this error. It seems rather straight forward, but I can't find where to set a flag for java7.
I'm using the latest version of Eclipse (Juno Service Release 1) and my google plugin is 4.2.

The relevant system level property is shown here: com.google.apphosting.runtime.use_java7
It can be passed into appCfg.sh like so:
appcfg.sh --use_java7 update

As per the 1.7.3 blog post:
In an upcoming release, we will be including some of the new Java 7
functionality as well as formal Java 7 support within the App Engine
Java runtime.
and...
And while Java 7 support is not yet available within the App Engine
Java runtime, developers interested in an early preview can sign up
for our trusted tester program.
You'll need to either be accepted into the TT program, or to wait for a future release where Java 7 works in production.
