The container would generally not call isRunning().... But for example if I have an admin console, i would like it to be able to be informed of the state of each component.

Doesn't JMX allow for any method to be viewed? So, if you have isRunning() in the component implementation it will show up, won't it? (Not good with JMX, but my own ancient similar thing shows all properties that exists in the implementing class.)
In any event, it is not possible to introduce isRunning in the Startable interface without breaking compatibility, so the option would be a sub-interface, and I would suggest that is too much for too little...
