[ARIES-260] Reconsider synchronous MBean registration/unregistration

• Type: Bug

Description

Currently if you do

Bundle bundle = context.installBundle("org.apache.aries.jmx.jar");
bundle.start()

BundleStateMBean mbean = MBeanProxy.get(server, objectName, BundleStateMBean.class);
mbean.listBundles();

This might fail because the MBeans may not be registered when bundle.start() returns.
To compensate this effect a client will have to do some server.isRegistered/timeout logic or perhaps some more complicated notification logic.

IMHO, MBean registration should not be treated differently to osgi service registration i.e. it should be complete when Bundle.start() returns.
