Forgive me if this question is naive or misguided -- I'm operating on very little information...
While at VMworld last week, a VMware employee and I were chatting about VIX and he indicated that in a soon-to-be-released version of the VIX API, there are functions to interact at a process level with the guest OS. Of course, there are limited ways to do that now, but he was talking about what sounded like native hooks to WMI via VIX (or something similar).
Now this information also came with the deployment hint of "all you need to do is download an extra .jar file and you can get this today", which left me wondering why a C API is providing a .jar file (unless he's referencing a Java wrapper for VIX) and where one might find this mysterious .jar file.
Can anybody out there shed some light on the details that drove this cryptic conversation?
My apologies if this is well-trod ground. My searches didn't turn up anything relevant.
Thanks -
