I've tried to follow this tutorial, but I have problem with imports.

I got: 

The import com.sun.tools cannot be resolved

in line 

import com.sun.tools.attach.VirtualMachine;

I've tried to look for some info on Sun/Oracle website, but I have not found anything helpful.

I am developing on JDK 1.6.0_31.

tools.jar needs to be added to the IDE's library path and the program's classpath. The tools.jar file is found in the JDK's lib directory.

For example, if the JDK were installed into C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_11 then the tools.jar file will be found at C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_11\lib\tools.jar.

You should add tools.jar to your classpath.
