MBean

MBeans are part of the instrumentation-level JMX specification. An MBean is a managed bean—a Java object representing a resource to be managed. An MBean has attributes that can be read, operations that can be invoked, and notifications that can be emitted.

See, for example, the J2SE management documentation for more information on MBeans at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/management/overview.html#mbeans.
