Hello-
I've been messing with building a tool to monitor what is happening
while droids is running. In doing this, i realized I may be re-
inventing the jmx wheel.
Does anyone have much experience with JMX?
It seems like that would be a good way to expose any 'status'
information:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DROIDS-27
Additionally, it would be a good way to expose things like changing
the max # of workers in real time. Or canceling a worker mid job,
etc.
Any thoughts on JMX and droids?

Ryan,
I have no experience working with JMX but I am certainly in favor of
not
reinventing the wheel. Could we keep the dependency on JMX optional
for
Droids Core, though?
JMX is already included in the Java SE platform (java 6 has a lot more
in it though) -- so adding JMX to core would not change the
dependencies.
I have not really looked into it yet, so I'm not really sure what the
implications are. My hunch is that 'core' would implement some
standard interfaces (MBean etc). If the any droids specific JMX
management classes are non-trivial, then they should be moved to
their own module.
