Currently, the JPPF client's local execution cannot be assigned a priority and always has a priority of 0. This means it cannot be easily used within a failover strategy using priorities of execution channels, unless the priorities of remote channels are set around 0.

We propose to add a configuration property to specify the priority of the local executor, for example "jppf.local.execution.priority".

We also propose to enable assigning a priority to all driver connections established via driver discovery. This makes sense since it is possible to mix discovered connections, manual connections and local executor.
