Summary: Timer MBean should not be daemon

Initial Comment:
The implementation of javax.management.timer.Timer uses
a daemon thread. This does not agree with Sun's
reference implementation. When a Timer is start()-ed,
it shouldn't then suddenly decided to terminate itself.

More information:
The Reference Implementation uses a java.util.Timer. The
thread in a java.util.Timer is explicitly not a daemon
thread, which means that the VM will not exit as long as
there is a task remaining to be executed (unless you call
System.exit, of course). Although the spec of
javax.management.timer.Timer does not explicitly say that
the existence of a future notification should prevent the VM
from exiting, it seems logical and consistent with
java.util.Timer.
