I think remote packs could be more user friendly. Installer of remote pack lets user to choose target JVM path and installation path for remote pack. It prepares some script which could be 'transparently' used instead of java executable. The script would contain all settings about agentpath, port etc. configured by some '.conf' file and it would pass all its arguments to java process: $JAVA_HOME/bin/java $AGENTPATH $ARGUMENTS A user would be only using e.g. $PROFILER/bin/profiler instead of $JAVA_HOME/bin/java in command line starting his/her application.
fixed, there is profile.bat/.sh
Verified. Manual steps should be adjusted also. See issue 98088.
