Add the ability to Pause steps in the Java MJC

With the Perl MJC, when the job runs all the steps are displayed, and you have the ability to select "pause" on any one of the to pause execution of the job at that point. This RFE requests the same functionality for Java MJC jobs.

I didn't realize how much this feature is used until it disappeard and my users complained.

Right now the only option is to cancel the job in the middle of whatever step it happens to be in.

    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each enhancement suggestion. The offering team has carefully reviewed this idea and has decided that it does not fit into our current plans, too aged so plans may have changed or has been implemented, so the idea will be closed. The idea will be kept in IBM's ideas repository and may still be voted on. It might be reassessed or reopened for additional feedback in the future. We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us the privilege of partnering with you in developing our products.

    Thank you for submitting this request for enhancement;
    But the pause faction in JAVA MJC need a lot of developing and modifying because the JAVA MJC engine's working theory is different from the Perl engine.
