I didn't find too much hints to JMX usage on the list either, but I'll 
give it another try on the user list. Just to be sure :-)

I see no problem there, as JMX 1.2 runs on JDK 1.3.1 (just did a test to 
be sure).

As the JMX lib is not required during runtime as long as the JMX code is 
not accessed, that should be OK.

Sounds good to me! I guess the login 'bmartin' would fit your user name 
pattern?

BTW: Could you give me a JIRA account as well, please? Either 
self-registration is deactivatedm I missed it or you don't want me to 
find bugs ;-)
