From http://www.javacodegeeks.com/2014/05/10-ideas-to-improve-eclipse-ide-usability.html

For a given remote process, the debug view should show the PID of the process.
Additionally, it could show some runtime informations, such as memory consumption, and have this extensible so that Java process could show some monitoring information (such as HeapSize vs PermSize and so on).

That would be great, especially the PID. I've looked into this a little bit before and I didn't find a portable way to find the PID. If this is available, it could allow other context menu commands for example I'm imagining an "Attach with C/C++ debugger" which requires the PID and it would make it easier to attach gdb to a Java process and debug it natively.
