> JMXetric is a management agent JAR loaded using the JVM argument 
> java -javaagent:$JARLIBS/jmxetric-1.0.2.jar .....
> In the premain method (executed before JBoss main() is invoked), jmxetric calls the static method:
>    ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer()
> This puts JMX into a bad state and the jboss.as tree is completely missing when browsed with jconsole
> As a workaround, jmxetric will defer the call to ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer() using the "initialdelay" parameter set to a value such as 20 seconds.
> However, it would be good if JBoss could act more cleanly in this situation, for example, throwing an exception if ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer() is called too early, or finding a way to add the "jboss.as" stuff later.
> The 1.0.6 release of jmxetric will include the workaround by default.  The bug can be reproduced by setting initialdelay="0" in the sample jmxetric.xml or using jmxetric 1.0.5
> jmxetric versions before 1.0.5 suffer from issues with the jboss logger as discussed in WFLY-895, so this issue was only discovered after removing the logging statements from jmxetric.
