I decided to revisit that Byteman prototype from a few months ago and build it out further.
With this RHQ-Byteman integration, you can now do remote byte-code injection into any Java virtual machine.
The uses for this kind of thing are boundless - from tracing how long it takes for a Java method to execute to testing an application's fault tolerance by forcing test exceptions to be thrown.

Autocomplete is a feature that I can not live without. It must be the curse of using better and better IDEs and phones. Not that I'm too lazy to type out the rest of a command, but something drives me nuts about the inefficiency of having to do it when I could use that time to do something more useful. So when it came time to write the command line interface for RHQ last year I knew it was a feature we had to get in there somehow.
