Hello,

I see there is some modifiction in the java.lang.management.ManagementFactory, e.g, newPlatformMXBeanProxy. The LogManager.LOGGING_MXBEAN_NAME in Java7 has been changed and now represents PlatformLoggingMXBean rather than java.util.logging.LoggingMXBean. I understand this is the stradegy to move all MXBean into java.lang.management package. However in JDK6, customers may already use java.lang.management.ManagementFactory.newPlatformMXBeanProxy(someserver, LogManager.LOGGING_MXBEAN_NAME, LoggingMXBean) to get LoggingMXBean and in JDK7 he would meet a IllegalArgumentException. I am wondering if there is a solution to avoid this, e.g, allow it still return LoggingMXBean?

Thanks.

-- Best Regards, Jimmy, Jing LV
