I've just implemented this: The Java plugin now copies the configuration
blocks and does nothing else while configuring. When the `init' callback
is called, it begins to parse the configuration and starts the JVM.
Since the `init' callbacks are called after the daemon forked to the
background, the JVM doesn't loose its threads and everything works like
it did when running in the foreground.

It'd be great if someone else could try the updated version and tell me
whether it's working somewhere else, too.
