[SNMP4J] SNMP4J 1.7 and SNMP4J-Agent 1.0beta1 Released

[Matthieu Casanova]

Hi, about the snmp agent library, the BaseAgent seems to be changed, in
fact, with the alpha versions I copied the init() method from TestAgent in
my Agent, but now it seems those things are directly in BaseAgent.
The difference is that the config files are required and it is not possible
to have null in those fields isn't it ?
What the purpose of those files ? Keep track of datas in my agent to restore
them when restarting it ?
If I don't want that I give any File() (that doesn't exists) and do not add
the shutdown hook so the files are never created. Is that good or do you
think it's really important to use those files ?
