This package defines "management bean" or " MXBean" interfaces for managing and monitoring a running Java virtual machine. It relies on the JMX API of the javax.management package, which is not covered in this book. ManagementFactory is the main entry point to this API; it defines static factory methods for obtaining instances of the various management bean interfaces. These instances can then be queried for specific information about the Java VM. The jconsole tool shipped with the Java 5.0 JDK demonstrates the capabilites of this package.
