[Hawkular-dev] Resourcetype again

[John Mazzitelli]

And a major question still to be addressed is how and when does the agent get the type metadata? Right now, it "owns" the metadata in standalone.xml. But it would be nice for metadata to be downloaded from the hawkular server - if there is no metadata available, then the agent can fallback and use its standalone.xml definitions.

I have not thought long about the metadata storage in hawkular and the interface the agent should use to get it. We need to figure that out.
