Currently, the framework does not provide any information on physical/virtual RAM (max, available, committed) or Swap space, nor anything on the RAM usage by the JVM process itself. We propose to add this information to both the JPPFSystemInformation content and the data provided via management (diagnostics MBean)

Previously, I had decided against it, because this information is OS-dependent and would break the cross-platform portability of JPPF. However, it appears this information could be very useful, when available, for job scheduling (via SLA and execution policies) and other purposes, e.g. node provisioning and automated JVM parameters settings. Thus, it can be a very valuable feature. This would also be a very useful building block for the implementation of Feature request JPPF-288 - Clients task sets node configuration

This information and its availability (whether it is supported) shall be provided as part of th feature.

A question is: what kind of support do we want ot give it in the administration console? Should it be a separate panel, or integrated within the existing JVM health panel?
