Bug Description

jakarta-log4j currently build-depends on (and suggests) libjboss-jmx-java to enable Log4J JMX support.

Solution 1: MIR libjboss-jmx-java
Unfortunately, it is impossible to push libjboss-jmx-java to main without having to MIR all jbossas4 [build-]dependencies as well, which is a significant effort to process and support for 5 years.

Solution 2: Switch to libmx4j-java
mx4j provides an alternative JMX implementtation and is in main

Solution 3: Drop JMX support from log4j
This was recently enabled to allow pristine Zookeeper to use log4j, we'd need to disable Log4J/JMX support in Zookeeper.

Solution 2, if it works, is the best. Solution 3 is a fallback.
