Description
Summary
-------
Drops JVM-MANAGEMENT-MIB.mib from Java SE 11

Problem
-------

JVM-MANAGEMENT-MIB.mib was defined by JSR 163 / JSR 174 in Java SE 5 while the implementation is optional. The implementation for JVM SNMP monitoring and management is provided by jdk.snmp module.
SNMP monitoring support for JVM has been deprecated in JDK 10 (JDK-8194164) and removed in JDK 11 (JDK-8199295).  In fact there is nearly zero inquiry on SNMP agent since it was added in JDK 5.

This CSR proposes to drop JVM-MANAGEMENT-MIB.mib from Java SE.   SNMP agent is Oracle JDK specific feature and there is no JCK test. 

Solution
--------

Drop JVM-MANAGEMENT-MIB.mib from Java SE. 

Specification
-------------
Remove JVM-MANAGEMENT-MIB.mib from Java SE specification.
Comments
Moving to Approved.
