I would be interested in this. Currently in my setup we actually have
common bits of code that I use to set up jmx across all the jvms. i.e.
Our users databag gives credentials for jmx and then we can use this
combined with app specific groups to generated access control files
and password files for jmx access. We have also a common bit of code
that we use to setup all the jdk logging options across our jvms.
(Mostly so we can ship stuff over to a graylog server)
