Description
VisualVM 2.1.
The --openjmx command line option doesn't support opening the process view at a defined tab, as already available for --openid <id@tab_idx> and --openpid <pid@tab_idx>.
Would be nice to have this functionality available also for --openjmx <host:port@tab_idx>.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the --openjmx, --openid, and --openpid command-line options parse the optional @tab_idx value and select a process view tab. Done means --openjmx host:port@tab_idx opens the specified tab in the JMX process view, matching the existing --openid and --openpid behavior.
