J2SE 5.0 introduces comprehensive monitoring and management support for the Java platform.

• Java Virtual Machine Monitoring and Management API
  The java.lang.managementAPI enables monitoring and managing the Java virtual machine and the underlying operating system. The API enables applications to monitor themselves and enables JMX-compliant tools to monitor and manage a virtual machine locally and remotely.
  Example code is provided in the _JDKHOME_/demo/management directory.
• Sun Management Platform Extension
  The com.sun.managementpackage contains Sun Microsystems' platform extension to the java.lang.management API and the management interface for some other components of the platform.
• Logging Monitoring and Management Interface
  The java.util.logging.LoggingMXBeaninterface enables you to retrieve and set logging information.
• Java Management Extensions (JMX)
  The JMX APIs define the architecture, design patterns, interfaces, and services for application and network management and monitoring in Java. The APIs are based on the JMX specification.
