BuiltinOSProducer

The BuiltinOSProducer that delivers stats like open files and cpu usage doesn't work in JBoss. The reason is that it fails to load the following class at starttime: com.sun.management.UnixOperatingSystemMXBean.

The workaround for this is: You must edit the file /modules/sun/jdk/main/module.xml and add com/sun/management to the exported paths. Looks like this afterwards:

(...)
<dependencies>
  <system export="true">
    <paths>
      <path name="com/sun/management"/>
      <path name="com/sun/script/javascript"/>
(...)

This way the class can be loaded and the BuiltinOSProducer works as desired.

Tested with JBoss AS 7.1.1.Final "Brontes" and Moskito 2.4.1.
