public abstract boolean isRetransformClassesSupported ()

Returns whether or not the current JVM configuration supports retransformation of classes. The ability to retransform an already loaded class is an optional capability of a JVM. Retransformation will only be supported if the Can-Retransform-Classes manifest attribute is set to true in the agent JAR file (as described in the package specification) and the JVM supports this capability. During a single instantiation of a single JVM, multiple calls to this method will always return the same answer.

Returns:  true if the current JVM configuration supports retransformation of classes, false if not.
