Implement a "run on server" like function in the CICS Explorer SDK for CICS Java development testing Merged

Currently CICS Java testing from Eclipse is not an easy task. This is mostlly because testing requires a real CICS system. This implies connectivity, CICS deployment, CICS refresh and exposes the CICS complexity to Java developers. Also debugging requires a dedicated CICS JVM for each developper, which is not something we would like to see.
Application servers supply/support local "run on server" like functions.
This context of the requirement is JCICS LINK (mostly) and limited TSQ access.
A local implementation of the LINK would be a very oood start...

    For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
