Create a JConsole plugin to display DataCache statistics and help tune the cache

                 Key: OPENJPA-1844
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-1844
             Project: OpenJPA
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: datacache, instrumentation
            Reporter: Rick Curtis
            Assignee: Rick Curtis
             Fix For: 2.1.0


I have created a simple JConsole plugin that will enable a OpenJPA user to view 
DataCache statistics and it also allows for some runtime interactions with the 
cache. These changes are going to come in two parts. The first part will be the 
plugin side of changes and second part is going to come via another JIRA which 
will feature the OpenJPA core runtime changes.

The features that I have currently implemented are:
 - A view of cache hits, reads, and writes.
 - A button to evict the entire contents of the cache.
 - A button to reset the statistics.
 - A check box to enable / disable statistics gathering
 - The ability to disable / enable caching specific types.

I would like to add the following features:
 - Show the current DataCache configuration and show what (if any) changes have 
been made at runtime (ie: Stopped caching a certain type).
 - Allow changing the cache size.
 - Evict only a certain type.
 - Make some cute bar charts for hit/miss ratio.

This works both in a JSE environment and in a WebSphere environment(sans 
security). I'll add more details on how to run jconsole with the plugin once I 
have some code committed.
