/**

* JDK implementation ships with provider implementations that can only attach to
* Sun's <i>HotSpot</i> virtual machine. In general, if an environment
* consists of Java virtual machines of different versions and from different
* vendors then there will be an attach provider implementation for each
- * <i>family</i> of implementations or versions. </p>

* be, a name that corresponds to the VM vendor. The Sun JDK implementation,
