 * Provides access to the system's management beans via a series

 * </p>
 * <p>
 * An instance of a system management bean can be obtained by
 * using one of the following methods:
 * </p>
 * <ol>
 * <li>Calling the appropriate static method of this factory.
 * </li>
 * <li>Using the platform {@link javax.management.MBeanServer}
 * to access the beans locally, or an
 * {@link javax.management.MBeanServerConnection} for remote
 * access.  The attributes and operations use the limited
 * range of data types specified below.</li>
 * </ol>
 * <h2>Open Data Types</h2>
 * <p>
 * The data types used by the management beans are restricted
 * to <emph>open</emph> data types to aid interoperability.  This
 * allows the beans to be accessed remotely, including from non-Java
 * clients.  Below is a table which lists the types used by the beans
 * on the left, and the types they are converted to when returned via
 * a bean server on the right.  Type information is provided for each
 * bean by obtaining its instance of {@link javax.management.MBeanInfo}.
 * </p>
 * <table>
 * <th><td>Data Type Used</td><td>Data Type Returned</td></th>
 * <tr>
 * <td>Primitive types (<code>int</code>, <code>char</code>, etc.)</td>
 * <td>Same</td>
 * </tr><tr>
 * <td>Wrapper classes ({@link{java.lang.Integer},
 * @link{java.lang.Character}, etc.)</td>
 * <td>Same</td>
 * </tr><tr>
 * <td>An {@link java.lang.Enum}</td>
 * <td>The <code>name</code> of the enumeration constant</td>
 * </tr><tr>
 * <td>An array of type <code>E</code></td>
 * <td>An array of the same dimensions with this mapping applied
