-This setting is not needed on Tomcat 6 or higher.

 Alternatively, consider the use of the Spring-provided generic VM agent, to be specified
 in Tomcat's launch script (see above). This will make instrumentation available to all
 deployed web applications, no matter what ClassLoader they happen to run on.
