Its now possible to also add the broker name to jmx tree avoiding clashes when multiple brokers are in a single vm. This is now the default but the old way can be used with some configuration

The failback process needs to be deterministic rather than relying on various
incarnations of Thread.sleep() at crucial points. Important aspects of this
change include:
1) Make the initial replication synchronization process block at the very
last step and wait for a response from the replica to ensure the replica has
as the necessary data. This is a critical piece of knowledge during the
failback process because it allows the soon-to-become-backup server to know
for sure when it can shut itself down and allow the soon-to-become-live
server to take over. Also, introduce a new configuration element called
"initial-replication-sync-timeout" to conrol how long this blocking will occur.
2) Set the state of the server as 'LIVE' only after the server is fully
started. This is necessary because once the soon-to-be-backup server shuts
down it needs to know that the soon-to-be-live server has started fully before
it restarts itself as the new backup. If the soon-to-be-backup server restarts
before the soon-to-be-live is fully started then it won't actually become a
backup server but instead will become a live server which will break the
failback process.
3) Wait to receive the announcement of a backup server before failing-back.
After I spent a whole afternoon trying to make IBM JDK to work under IDEA, I decided to add a note on the doc so other would have a chance to have it working faster than I did.
Lots of work on the test-suite in this commit including:
- Rename ServiceTestBase to ActiveMQTestBase
- Make AddressSettings fluent
- Remove unnecessary tearDown() implementations
- Use ActiveMQTestBase.create*Locator() instead of
ActiveMQClient.createServerLocator*(..)
- Use fluent ServerLocator methods
- Make sure all ActiveMQServers.newActiveMQServer invocations
are surrounded with addServer() where appropriate
- Create a few example tests to be references from hacking-guide
- Update hacking-guide with more info on writing tests
- Refactor config creation methods in ActiveMQTestBase
This has bothered me for awhile, but writing the hacking guide has
given me an opportunity to refactor some of our test-suite to be
simpler, more consistent, and easier to understand. This is
important if we want users to provide well-written tests. Our
test-suite is an important part of the code-base and it should be
easy to write good tests.
Basically I just consolidated CoreUnitTestCase, UnitTestCase, and
ServiceTestBase into a single class named ServiceTestBase. I also
simplified some of the configuration creation methods to reduce
duplicated code.
This is changing the default host to 0.0.0.0 per feedback from the community (activemq dev-list)
however if clustered is used some input or other properties will get input during the create process
I've also done some other changes based on some small issues I have encountered
