Hi Stefan, maybe people don't really like JMX because that's how JBoss got fast, reliable, ... :-)
What I learned from JBoss' JMX-implementation is that: JMX is a cool technology, BUT due to its awful GUI nobody knew what to do with it. (I remembered that looking at your screenshots.)
Still I believe that JMX would be very useful for everybody, we just need a good example that proofs its advantages.
Maybe it would be a good idea to quickly write wrappers for most of the administrative functions. Those could be used to implement a nice GUI that people can test and fall in love with.
The next step would be to change vast parts of the code. In my opinion this will take a much longer time to do. Up until those changes are implemented the administration might be a little harder or slower, but people might be convinced that those channges are necessary.
So please keep in mind: Change is inevitable, growth is intentional.
Olaf
