Well, if anything the @CP annotation is related to

OK, so if ConstructorProperties is more closely related to
CompositeData than to MXBean per se, then put ConstructorProperties
into javax.management.openmbean. The MXBean spec (i.e. the javadoc) is
obviously completely dependent on that package already.
FWIW. @ConstructorProperties is closely related to MXBean.
MXBean provides an easy way to define and implement your managed mbean
using user-defined types and the MXBean framework converts those types
into the public API and javax.management.openmbean types so that the
client doesn't need the user-defined types to be present. In other
words, MXBean removes the need to code in javax.management.openmbean.

The desire for a new package seems misplaced to me, given how the real
driver for a new package -- the draft JEP for MBean registration --
isn't going anywhere fast.
