The bug has only been open for 11 years. I'm sure it will get fixed soon. As additional ways this might break emerge, I'm beginning to think an optional life-cycle listener that uses Runtime.Exec to get the info is a better way to go. Slower, but more reliable. For jsvc I think it would have to be on the Engine or similar. There is no rush for this feature. The discussion so far has been useful so I plan to wait a little while to see what else emerges before doing anything.
