I am running 64bit java (jdk1.7.0_72) and same is being used as sdk in IntelliJ

The test method is -

public static void main(final String[] args) {
    System.out.println(System.getProperty("sun.arch.data.model"));
}

Did I miss any configuration?

Answer 1

That method will execute very quickly. What you probably want to do is to start a recording on the command line. You can do that with the following VM options,

-XX:+UnlockCommercialFeatures 
-XX:+FlightRecorder 
-XX:StartFlightRecording=filename=recording.jfr

and then open the file in JMC.

Answer 2

Necroposting here, but maybe will help someone later.

I had a very similar issue with the same stack and reason that was caused by a corporate AV solution, that decided that this was very clearly an exploit. Tweaking the settings on it to allow the connection fixed it.
