JVMPI/JVMDI vs JVMTI

Hi,

I was looking at JVMTI and what your capabilities are to create an own agent.

Additionally it would be very interesting for me to know, what changed from JVMPI/JVMDI ? I know that the former APIs are deprecated in JDK 1.5 and will be completely removed but I would like to know more facts without having the need to look deep into the implementation.

E.g. has the programming model been the same (with JNI ? ). Were there any changes in regard to performance of the API (can you say that JVMTI has become quicker ? ).

Maybe somebody can give me some thoughts what has changed.

Thanks,

Philipp.
