Description

When running the Qpid Java broker with Zulu Community JRE, I get an error on startup when my configured virtual node is validated. The maximum amount of runtime memory needs to be computed, and specifically for the Zulu runtime the class com.azul.zing.management.ManagementFactory is needed, which is not part of the Zulu Community. It seems to be part of the (commercial) Zing JVM, which is also developed by Azul systems.

The problem seems to be in the com.sleepycat.je.utilint.JVMSystemUtils class in the dependencies of Qpid, which checks the java.vendor, which is apparently the same for the Zulu Community and Zing.

When using the Oracle JDK, this problem does not occur.

Attached is the stacktrace in the log.
