Description
The JDK should support a mechanism where an SSL/TLS debug flag can be managed at runtime via JMX or other alternatives. 

This would be a useful feature and would prevent users from having to restart JVMs where SSL/TLS issues are being encountered. Currently javax.net.debug is a once only read property.
