Future Changes to JavaX


The Javax.* packages are the subject of two specific Java Enhancement Proposals that have been submitted for a future Java platform release. Those proposals are as follows:

  • JMX specific annotations for registration of managed resources
  • Modernize the GTK3 Look and Feel implementation

JMX specific annotations for registration of managed resources

The draft Java Enhancement Proposal titled, JMX specific annotations for registration of managed resources, will provide a set of annotations for registration and configuration of MBeans(Managed Bean).

Note

An MBean is a Java Object representing a manageable resource (app, service, component, or device).

The goal of this proposal is to lessen the burden on developers in the registration and configuring of MBeans. In addition, the source code readability will increase by ensuring all MBean declaration components are co-located.

The JMX specific annotations will be located in the javax.management.annotations package.
