Release Note: Define ConstructorParameters annotation type for MXBeans - Closed
Description
MXBean currently supports model-specific types annotated with 
java.beans.ConstructorProperties that is tightly coupled with
the client API.  A MXBean developer will likely want to avoid
using java.beans.ConstructorProperties if it ends up in the
desktop module that their code doesn't want to pull in.  In
that case, the code has to write to achieve the same effort
by defining the from(CompositeData) method.

Suggestion from Eamonn McManus [1]:
Allow ConstructorProperties annotations from any package

Comments
Instead of consuming any '@**.ConstructorProperties' annotation it will be better to define a standard JMX @ConstructorParameters annotation. The name is chosen as not to confuse developers working with the standard java beans into using this JMX specific annotation instead of @java.beans.ConstructorProperties.
