Two solutions:
- If attributes are known at compile time just add them all to RPClass.
- If attributes are totally arbitrary, just don't define a RPClass for 
Items.

IMHO we can have a basic set of attributes for most items and define an 
RPClass, special items will surely need a java class because they will have 
attributes and code to reply to actions ( f.e. a key to open a door with the 
Use with command, our chest, etc. ).

This is really a not urgent task, simply that if propierties are going to be 
known also at client we better use Attributes to avoid repeating code that 
may add new ( and exciting! ) bugs.

I think that Items situation is a bit different to Creatures, we can do the 
same approach with types of items: swords, shields, keys,... just my two 
cents.

So, what we do?
