Description

when features:install activemq-web-console it will try to start an instance of activemq broker with default configuration(like listening port 61616), however by default when start smx we already start an activemq broker, so will encounter exception like

Marcelo Jabali have a great blog[1] to demonstrate how to workaround it by adding some properties to make the activemq-web-console connect to the default embedded broker but not create another one, I think we need have this out-of-box
