The fork would just be to resurrect the code if we want to.

That could be a reason to resurrect the code but at the moment we want to
make an attempt to build a GoLang agent for Prometheus(and Jolokia?)
endpoints instead (in particular for Docker/Kubernetes/OpenShift).

Now if someone is really depending on our Java agent reading from
Prometheus, that could be a solution worth maintaining.
