It would be simpler in the sense that there's only one way to start it 
but I'm not sure from an ease of use point of view. Let me explain.

Let's say you wanna a cache called "galdercache" for the 1st time. You'd 
call DefaultCacheManager.start("galdercache"), correct? Now, let's say 
you stop it, so there's no trace of galdercache any more. How do you 
restart it? You have to go and call 
DefaultCacheManager.start("galdercache"). So now, to restart a cache, 
you have to type something and you have to remember the cache name you 
gave it to it.

Wouldn't be easier, from an usability perspective, to go to galdercache 
MBean and call start() on the MBean directly?

This is why I think keeping the MBean around would improve usability.
