Hello James, hello all, we are currently not quite sure what the actual source of the MBeans is going to be (doclet tags or a XML description file).
If a XML based description is needed it could also be created based on doclet tags as for example with xdoclet/elbaxmbean. Didn't David mention somthing like that in a previous posting, too? Besides if we recall correctly JDK1.5 will most likely include a metadata facility which is more like the doclet based approach rather than having external XML files for meta description.

The benefit of doclet tags is refactoring tools tend to keep them with the methods when you rename & refactor etc. James ------- http://radio.weblogs.com/0112098/
