/**
 * The <tt>ManagementFactory</tt> class is a factory class for getting
 * managed beans for the Java platform.
 * This class consists of static methods each of which returns
 * one or more <a href="#MXBean">platform MXBean(s)</a> representing
 * the management interface of a component of the Java virtual
 * machine.
 *
 * <p>
 * An application can access a platform MXBean in the following ways:
 * <ul>
 * <li><i>Direct access to an MXBean interface</i>
 *     <ol type="a">
 *     <li>Get the MXBean instance through the static factory method
 *         and access the MXBean locally of the running
 *         virtual machine.
 *         </li>
 *     <li>Construct an MXBean proxy instance that forwards the
 *         method calls to a given {@link MBeanServer MBeanServer} by calling
 *         {@link #newPlatformMXBeanProxy newPlatfromMXBeanProxy}.
 *         A proxy is typically constructed to remotely access
 *         an MXBean of another running virtual machine.
 *         </li>
 *     </ol></li>
 * <li><i>Indirect access to an MXBean interface via MBeanServer</i>
 *     <ol type="a">
 *     <li>Go through the {@link #getPlatformMBeanServer
 *         platform MBeanServer} to access MXBeans locally or
 *         a specific <tt>MBeanServerConnection</tt> to access
 *         MXBeans remotely.
 *         The attributes and operations of an MXBean use only
 *         <em>JMX open types</em> which include basic data types,
 *         {@link javax.management.openmbean.CompositeData CompositeData},
 *         and {@link javax.management.openmbean.TabularData TabularData}
 *         defined in
 *         {@link javax.management.openmbean.OpenType OpenType}.
 *         The mapping is specified below.
 *        </li>
 *     </ol></li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <h4><a name="MXBean">Platform MXBeans</a></h4>
 * A platform MXBean is a <i>managed bean</i> that conforms to
 * the JMX Instrumentation Specification and only uses
 * a set of basic data types described below.
 * See <a href="../../../javax/management/MXBean.html#MXBean-spec">
 * the specification of MXBeans</a> for details.
 * A JMX management application and the platform <tt>MBeanServer</tt>
 * can interoperate without requiring classes for MXBean specific
 * data types.
 * The data types being transmitted between the JMX connector
 * server and the connector client are
 * {@linkplain javax.management.openmbean.OpenType open types}
 * and this allows interoperation across versions.
 * <p>
 * The platform MXBean interfaces use only the following data types:
 * <ul>
 *   <li>Primitive types such as <tt>int</tt>, <tt>long</tt>,
 *       <tt>boolean</tt>, etc</li>
 *   <li>Wrapper classes for primitive types such as
 *       {@link java.lang.Integer Integer}, {@link java.lang.Long Long},
 *       {@link java.lang.Boolean Boolean}, etc and
 *       {@link java.lang.String String}</li>
 *   <li>{@link java.lang.Enum Enum} classes</li>
 *   <li>Classes that define only getter methods and define a static
 *       <tt>from</tt> method with a
 *       {@link javax.management.openmbean.CompositeData CompositeData}
 *       argument to convert from an input <tt>CompositeData</tt> to
 *       an instance of that class
 *       </li>
 *   <li>{@link java.util.List List&lt;E&gt;}
 *       where <tt>E</tt> is a primitive type, a wrapper class,
 *       an enum class, or a class supporting conversion from a
 *       <tt>CompositeData</tt> to its class
 *       </li>
 *   <li>{@link java.util.Map Map&lt;K,V&gt;}
 *       where <tt>K</tt> and <tt>V</tt> are
 *       a primitive type, a wrapper class,
 *       an enum class, or a class supporting conversion from a
 *       <tt>CompositeData</tt> to its class
 *       </li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>
 * When an attribute or operation of a platform MXBean
 * is accessed via an <tt>MBeanServer</tt>, the data types are mapped
 * as follows:
 * <ul>
 *   <li>A primitive type or a wrapper class is mapped
 *       to the same type.
 *       </li>
 *   <li>An {@link Enum} is mapped to
 *       <tt>String</tt> whose value is the name of the enum constant.
 *   <li>A class that defines only getter methods and a static
 *       <tt>from</tt> method with a
 *       {@link javax.management.openmbean.CompositeData CompositeData}
 *       argument is mapped to
 *       {@link javax.management.openmbean.CompositeData CompositeData}.
 *       </li>
 *   <li><tt>Map&lt;K,V&gt;</tt> is mapped to
 *       {@link javax.management.openmbean.TabularData TabularData}
 *       whose row type is a
 *       {@link javax.management.openmbean.CompositeType CompositeType} with
 *       two items whose names are <i>"key"</i> and <i>"value"</i>
 *       and the item types are
 *       the corresponding mapped type of <tt>K</tt> and <tt>V</tt>
 *       respectively and the <i>"key"</i> is the index.
 *       </li>
 *   <li><tt>List&lt;E&gt;</tt> is mapped to an array with the mapped
 *       type of <tt>E</tt> as the element type.
 *       </li>
 *   <li>An array of element type <tt>E</tt> is mapped to
 *       an array of the same dimenions with the mapped type of <tt>E</tt>
 *       as the element type.</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * The {@link javax.management.MBeanInfo MBeanInfo}
 * for a platform MXBean
 * describes the data types of the attributes and operations
 * as primitive or open types mapped as specified above.
 *
 * <p>
 * For example, the {@link MemoryMXBean}
 * interface has the following <i>getter</i> and <i>setter</i> methods:
 *
 * <blockquote><pre>
 * public MemoryUsage getHeapMemoryUsage();
 * public boolean isVerbose();
 * public void setVerbose(boolean value);
 * </pre></blockquote>
 *
 * These attributes in the <tt>MBeanInfo</tt>
 * of the <tt>MemoryMXBean</tt> have the following names and types:
 *
 * <blockquote>
 * <table border>
 * <tr>
 *   <th>Attribute Name</th>
 *   <th>Type</th>
 *   </tr>
 * <tr>
 *   <td><tt>HeapMemoryUsage</tt></td>
 *   <td>{@link MemoryUsage#from
 *              CompositeData representing MemoryUsage}</td>
 * </tr>
 * <tr>
 *   <td><tt>Verbose</tt></td>
 *   <td><tt>boolean</tt></td>
 * </tr>
 * </table>
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * <h4><a name="MXBeanNames">MXBean Names</a></h4>
 * Each platform MXBean for a Java virtual machine has a unique
 * {@link javax.management.ObjectName ObjectName} for
 * registration in the platform <tt>MBeanServer</tt>.
 * A Java virtual machine has a single instance of the following management
 * interfaces:
 *
 * <blockquote>
 * <table border>
 * <tr>
 * <th>Management Interface</th>
 * <th>ObjectName</th>
 * </tr>
 * <tr>
