Description

I've implemented a simple bridge using mx4j that exposes all JMX attributes through an http interface.
This is enabled per node. Simple exposes the existing jmx attributes (and actions) to a browser.
To use it you'll need to add mx4j-tools.jar to your classpath (add it to lib). If mx4j isn't in the classpath the code will skipped and this is not considered as an error, this is normal behavior. We expect users that need that interface to simply copy mx4j-tools.jar into their lib folder and restart the host.

Patch will be attached in a moment.

The default port is 8081. To override that provide e.g. -Dmx4jport=8082
The default listen address is 0.0.0.0. To override that provide -Dmx4jaddress=127.0.0.1
