[LOG4J2-2216] JMXFactoryConnector is not closed in ClientGui

• Type: Bug

Description

JMXFactoryConnector is not closed in ClientGui. This potentially could cause a thread leak according to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/564589/dynamic-proxies-with-jmx-can-cause-thread-leaks . Since JMXFactoryConnector implements closable and autoclosable, it should be wrapped in a try with resources or the connector should be closed somewhere.

We've seen several unclosed JMX threads in our production environment and believe this could be a reason why. 

Could anyone advise?

Thanks!
