Is there a Hello world agent, available, so i can at least setup my
development environment, and do a Full Cycle, or development to
deployment
Plus i am guessing, i have to basically develop a J2EE app, since this
is based on JBoss ? Right ?
The agent is a J2SE app - not J2EE and it doesn't run on JBoss app
server so no you are not developing a J2EE app here. Writing the plugin
is just writing 0, 1 or more Java classes and bundling them in a jar
file with a plugin descriptor. The plugin is a small jar that you plug
into the agent to manage a resource. So, you don't write the agent - you
just write a plugin that runs in the agent.
I would recommend you read through the plugin developer docs:
http://rhq-project.org/display/RHQ/Plugin+Community
and look at Heiko's blog on using the standalone plugin container (which
I think it what you were asking for when you say a "hello world
agent"???):
