Description

Artemis allows the broker owner to change most of the paths used, see for instance the "*-directory" elements like "paging-directory". There is one major exception though.

The directory holding the cli.lock file is currently hard-coded in artemis-cli/src/main/java/org/apache/activemq/artemis/cli/commands/Configurable.java (sic):

   protected File getLockPlace() throws Exception {
      String brokerInstance = getBrokerInstance();
      if (brokerInstance != null) {
         return new File(new File(brokerInstance),"lock");
      }
      else {
         return null;
      }
   }

Could you please allow changing the name of this directory?

Ideally, it could appear like the other "*-directory" elements in broker.xml. If this is too late, it could come from a Java property such as artemis.lockdir.
