This work + the work of Austin for GSoC are not as sophisticated
as the existing WF-Agent.

I think our agent has three kinds of code:
1) boiler plate to get it to run inside of WildFly and be configured via 
standalone.xml
2) code to fetch values via DMR, JMX, ...
3) code to interact with the Hawkular server

3) would be stuff that Tom could re-use
Parts of 2) - the JMX one - as well, even if in his case it may be
a local JMX connection instead of remote. Or he could set up one
Karaf container as agent, remote monitoring the other containers.

Mazz: can we identify the code for 2) and 3) and help Tom?
