You mean, adding a a src/jvm/jvm_driver.c backend that supports a
jvm:/// URI for connecting to your vms? Seems reasonable; we've added
support for other hypervisor technologies in the past.
Yes.

You may want to look at the patches for adding a URI for
parallels://
(commit cafc26ff, and lots of more recent commits with a prefix of
'parallels:') or hyperv:// (commit 4d6e6f4 and more recent commits with
a prefix of 'hyperv:') for inspiration on what it would take to
contribute your patch.
Ok, will do.
Thanks
