So... learn new tools? It's not hard to get the stack traces of every thread in a java vm at any point in time. It's not hard to get java using syslog if you really want it to (I wrote a syslog client for java, but ended up deciding it wasn't right for my problem). ldd typically doesn't make much sense in a java deployment, because people typically will publish all of the parts together in such a way that it's fairly obvious what pieces are in use. If we're all attached to all of our tools, we can never make progress.
