I'm using CR8 with JBoss 4.2.2 on Mac OSX 10.4. JBoss starts OK and I can access the profiling MBean to start and stop profiling, etc. But I cannot get the client to connect. When I do:

/Downloads/jboss-profiler-2.0.CR8> java -jar jboss-profiler-client.jar startProfiler

I get:

I saw in the readme a reference to configuration in jboss-service.xml so I found that in the source distribution and added it to my jboss-service.xml but then JBoss gets errors at startup:

I'm stuck as it seems without the client program there is no way to take a snapshot.
