Oh, right, I need to look into that one some day.. I'm by no means a
Java person, so I'm having kind of a hard time there ;)

Wow, very cool :) I've added a link to jcollectd on the features page
and the related projects page of the website. Could you verify that what
I'm writing is correct?

Right now I regret a little that I don't have more Java processes ;) I
have one though, my Jabber server (Openfire, an awesome piece of
software). I'll see if I can get some information out of it ;)

Yeah, I think it's better this way, too.

No, no problem at all. *I* won't be able to answer any Java related
questions, but if you stick around it's probably the best all around :)
