Dynamically add otel javaagent to application at runtime

[sarkisjad]

Is it possible to dynamically add otel javaagent to an application at runtime?

[jeanbisutti]

@sarkisjad You can use this project.

[sarkisjad]

Is it applicable for all java application? Even if they aren't SpringBoot?

[jeanbisutti]

It should work for applications not based on Spring Boot. The important thing is to call RuntimeAttach.attachJavaagentToCurrentJVM() at the beginning of the main method.

moving to the instrumentation project, which concerns the agent...
