Description

If any of the java process want to enable the JMX MBean server then following VM arguments needs to be passed.

-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=14005
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.local.only=false
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false

But the issue here is this will use one more random port other than 14005 while starting JMX.
This can be a problem if that random port is used for some other service.

So support a custom JMX Server through which random port can be avoided.
