Add  jboss.partition.udpGroup to the list of variables, so that users can set the -u on the command line and it affects JBM also.

                 Key: JBMESSAGING-1255
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBMESSAGING-1255
             Project: JBoss Messaging
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: Configuration and Management
    Affects Versions: 1.4.0.SP3_CP01, 1.4.0.SP3
            Reporter: Jay Howell
         Assigned To: Tim Fox
             Fix For: 1.4.0.SP3.CP02


change the properties  in the cluster configurations from...

${jboss.messaging.datachanneludpaddress:228.6.6.6}

to

${jboss.messaging.datachanneludpaddress, jboss.partition.udpGroup:228.6.6.6}

this would allow users to set the udp group on the command line when starting jboss.  What it would do is put the datachannel and the control channel on the same udp address as everything else, but they would have a different port.  This would enable users to segment their clusters easier just by changing the udp address on the command line.  So we'd still keep the old variable to be backwards compatible.  We would add the new variable and leave the default as it is.

Right now we tell customers to set the -u to isolate a cluster.  But now in 4.3, we have to tell them also to change the jbm information.  This leads to inadvertant cluster formations with JBM, when the rest of the machine is not in a cluster at all.

We of course would want to change the control channel udp address also.
