performance - Is -javaagent supported by java 1.4? -

i have requirement have add together -javaagent alternative in java opts. error observed unrecognized option: -javaagent: -javaagent supported java 1.4?or if not there other way out?

the java api documentation java.lang.instrument (where -javaagent alternative relies to, https://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/instrument/package-summary.html) states @ bottom "since jdk1.5"

so can pretty sure, error message received, alternative not available in java 1.4.

other posts on net explicitely state javaagent new in java 5, illustration here: http://javahowto.blogspot.ch/2006/07/javaagent-option.html
