A lightweight library (with no external dependencies) that simplifies the creation and registration of JMX MBeans by providing some annotations that you can easily add to your classes.

Take a look at the following class:

public class Statistics {
	
	public int counter;
	
	@ManagedAttribute
	public int getCounter() {
		return this.counter;
	}
	
	public void setCounter(int counter) {
		this.counter = counter;
	}
	
	@ManagedOperation
	public void resetCounter() {
		this.counter = 0;
	}
	
}

As you can see the getCounter() method is annotated with @ManagedAttribute and the resetCounter() method with @ManagedOperation. We can now register the JMX MBean in one single line of code:

Management.register(new Statistics(), "org.test:type=Statistics");

This will create a DynamicMBean from the object and will register it in the default MBeanServer (it calls ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer() underneath).

That's it. Enjoy!

        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
