Registration of MBeans in GlobalStmInstance fails due to instrumentation errors

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Attempt to run the SleepingBarberTest with the following code in 
GlobalStmInstance's static initializer:

static {
  ...
  if (instance instanceof ProfilerAware) {
      ProfilePublisher publisher = ...
      String mBeanName = JmxUtils.registerMBean(publisher);
      ...
  }

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Code should run and succesfully register an MBean. Instead, instrumentation 
fails with the following warning:

SEVERE: Transformer 'JSRInlineTransformer' failed while instrumenting class 
'com/sun/jmx/mbeanserver/JmxMBeanServer'. It is not possible to abort the 
instrumentation process, so the JVM is going to continue, but since this 
class is partially instrumented, all bets are off.
java.lang.ClassCircularityError: com/sun/jmx/mbeanserver/JmxMBeanServer
and a similar warning on javax/management/StandardMBean.

If the JSRInlineTransformer is disabled a different instrumentation error 
is indicated, i.e. it does not appear to fix the problem.

Of course, it is quite possible that the call to JmxUtils shouldn't be 
happening in GlobalStmInstance in the first place, but there doesn't seem 
to be any other really logical place for MV-wide initialization that's not 
specific to a certain implementation.

• Blocking: #162

Added the following exceptions to AbstractClassFileTransformer.isIgnoredPackage:

className.startsWith("com/sun/jmx/")
className.startsWith("javax/management/") 

This fixes the problem, so if that's an acceptable solution please close the 
issue.
