HeapDumpContributor in org.eclipse.virgo.dump.impl fails to dump the heap in all jvms.
Consider extensing the jvms supported.

Steve provided more details. I will summarize our conversation:

Tested on IBM jvm. Probably any non-sun jvm will cause the dump heap to fail (including OpenJDK?)

Currently the "sun.management.ManagementFactory" is used hard-coded and obtained 'by name' so the code does not compile with a specific JVM stuff.

The target is to be able to dump heaps on a "generic" JVM.
