Hi All,
After internal discussions, below format for management flags was agreed
upon.
1. --start-management-agent port=1234,ssl=on (space seperator)
or
2. --start-management-agent=port=1234,ssl=on ('=' seperator)
If option 1 is specified, it will be converted to option 2 by the java
launcher before it is passed onto VM.
With above GNU long format for management options, specifying arguments
is mandatory unlike before.
--start-management-agent will not be recognized in the current format
and hence will not default to --start-management-agent=local=true.
Below is the webrev with above changes and corresponding tests.

Please review and comment.
Thanks

Hi Alan,
I am not fully aware about Java launcher or how it passes options to
VM. Let me check with some other folks and get back to you.
Thanks

Hi Mandy,Alan,
Thanks for your inputs.
If I keep it as launcher option, it may need to know JMX agent flags
which may need to be extended in future.
I would prefer making it a VM option. I will make the required
changes and send out an updated webrev.
I think Mandy's suggestion is to just transform --management
<options> so a form that the VM can read. The launcher will need to
replace the space anyway as the VM only accepts "=".
