+/**
+ * The management interface for the memory system of
+ * the Java virtual machine.
+ *
+ * <p> A Java virtual machine has a single instance of the implementation
+ * class of this interface.  This instance implementing this interface is
+ * an <a href="ManagementFactory.html#MXBean">MXBean</a>
+ * that can be obtained by calling
+ * the {@link ManagementFactory#getMemoryMXBean} method or
+ * from the {@link ManagementFactory#getPlatformMBeanServer
+ * platform MBeanServer} method.
+ *
+ * <p>The {@code ObjectName} for uniquely identifying the MXBean for
+ * the memory system within an MBeanServer is:
+ * <blockquote>
+ *    {@link ManagementFactory#MEMORY_MXBEAN_NAME
+ *           java.lang:type=Memory}
+ * </blockquote>
+ *
+ * It can be obtained by calling the
+ * {@link PlatformManagedObject#getObjectName} method.
+ *
+ * <h3> Memory </h3>
+ * The memory system of the Java virtual machine manages
+ * the following kinds of memory:
+ *
+ * <h3> 1. Heap </h3>
+ * The Java virtual machine has a <i>heap</i> that is the runtime
+ * data area from which memory for all class instances and arrays
+ * are allocated.  It is created at the Java virtual machine start-up.
+ * Heap memory for objects is reclaimed by an automatic memory management
+ * system which is known as a <i>garbage collector</i>.
+ *
+ * <p>The heap may be of a fixed size or may be expanded and shrunk.
+ * The memory for the heap does not need to be contiguous.
+ *
+ * <h3> 2. Non-Heap Memory</h3>
+ * The Java virtual machine manages memory other than the heap
+ * (referred as <i>non-heap memory</i>).
+ *
+ * <p> The Java virtual machine has a <i>method area</i> that is shared
+ * among all threads.
+ * The method area belongs to non-heap memory.  It stores per-class structures
+ * such as a runtime constant pool, field and method data, and the code for
+ * methods and constructors.  It is created at the Java virtual machine
+ * start-up.
+ *
+ * <p> The method area is logically part of the heap but a Java virtual
+ * machine implementation may choose not to either garbage collect
+ * or compact it.  Similar to the heap, the method area may be of a
+ * fixed size or may be expanded and shrunk.  The memory for the
+ * method area does not need to be contiguous.
+ *
+ * <p>In addition to the method area, a Java virtual machine
+ * implementation may require memory for internal processing or
+ * optimization which also belongs to non-heap memory.
+ * For example, the JIT compiler requires memory for storing the native
+ * machine code translated from the Java virtual machine code for
+ * high performance.
+ *
+ * <h3>Memory Pools and Memory Managers</h3>
+ * {@link MemoryPoolMXBean Memory pools} and
+ * {@link MemoryManagerMXBean memory managers} are the abstract entities
+ * that monitor and manage the memory system
+ * of the Java virtual machine.
+ *
+ * <p>A memory pool represents a memory area that the Java virtual machine
+ * manages.  The Java virtual machine has at least one memory pool
+ * and it may create or remove memory pools during execution.
+ * A memory pool can belong to either the heap or the non-heap memory.
+ *
+ * <p>A memory manager is responsible for managing one or more memory pools.
+ * The garbage collector is one type of memory manager responsible
+ * for reclaiming memory occupied by unreachable objects.  A Java virtual
+ * machine may have one or more memory managers.   It may
+ * add or remove memory managers during execution.
+ * A memory pool can be managed by more than one memory manager.
+ *
+ * <h3>Memory Usage Monitoring</h3>
+ *
+ * Memory usage is a very important monitoring attribute for the memory system.
+ * The memory usage, for example, could indicate:
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li>the memory usage of an application,</li>
+ *   <li>the workload being imposed on the automatic memory management system,</li>
+ *   <li>potential memory leakage.</li>
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * The memory usage can be monitored in three ways:
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li>Polling</li>
+ *   <li>Usage Threshold Notification</li>
+ *   <li>Collection Usage Threshold Notification</li>
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * Details are specified in the {@link MemoryPoolMXBean} interface.
+ *
+ * <p>The memory usage monitoring mechanism is intended for load-balancing
+ * or workload distribution use.  For example, an application would stop
+ * receiving any new workload when its memory usage exceeds a
+ * certain threshold. It is not intended for an application to detect
+ * and recover from a low memory condition.
+ *
+ * <h3>Notifications</h3>
+ *
+ * <p>This {@code MemoryMXBean} is a
+ * {@link javax.management.NotificationEmitter NotificationEmitter}
+ * that emits two types of memory {@link javax.management.Notification
+ * notifications} if any one of the memory pools
+ * supports a <a href="MemoryPoolMXBean.html#UsageThreshold">usage threshold</a>
+ * or a <a href="MemoryPoolMXBean.html#CollectionThreshold">collection usage
+ * threshold</a> which can be determined by calling the
+ * {@link MemoryPoolMXBean#isUsageThresholdSupported} and
+ * {@link MemoryPoolMXBean#isCollectionUsageThresholdSupported} methods.
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li>{@link MemoryNotificationInfo#MEMORY_THRESHOLD_EXCEEDED
+ *       usage threshold exceeded notification} - for notifying that
+ *       the memory usage of a memory pool is increased and has reached
+ *       or exceeded its
+ *       <a href="MemoryPoolMXBean.html#UsageThreshold"> usage threshold</a> value.
+ *       </li>
+ *   <li>{@link MemoryNotificationInfo#MEMORY_COLLECTION_THRESHOLD_EXCEEDED
+ *       collection usage threshold exceeded notification} - for notifying that
+ *       the memory usage of a memory pool is greater than or equal to its
+ *       <a href="MemoryPoolMXBean.html#CollectionThreshold">
+ *       collection usage threshold</a> after the Java virtual machine
+ *       has expended effort in recycling unused objects in that
+ *       memory pool.</li>
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * The notification emitted is a {@link javax.management.Notification}
+ * instance whose {@link javax.management.Notification#setUserData
+ * user data} is set to a {@link CompositeData CompositeData}
+ * that represents a {@link MemoryNotificationInfo} object
+ * containing information about the memory pool when the notification
+ * was constructed. The {@code CompositeData} contains the attributes
+ * as described in {@link MemoryNotificationInfo#from
+ * MemoryNotificationInfo}.
+ *
+ * <hr>
+ * <h3>NotificationEmitter</h3>
+ * The {@code MemoryMXBean} object returned by
+ * {@link ManagementFactory#getMemoryMXBean} implements
+ * the {@link javax.management.NotificationEmitter NotificationEmitter}
+ * interface that allows a listener to be registered within the
+ * {@code MemoryMXBean} as a notification listener.
+ *
+ * Below is an example code that registers a {@code MyListener} to handle
+ * notification emitted by the {@code MemoryMXBean}.
+ *
+ * <blockquote><pre>
+ * class MyListener implements javax.management.NotificationListener {
+ *     public void handleNotification(Notification notif, Object handback) {
+ *         // handle notification
+ *         ....
+ *     }
+ * }
+ *
+ * MemoryMXBean mbean = ManagementFactory.getMemoryMXBean();
+ * NotificationEmitter emitter = (NotificationEmitter) mbean;
+ * MyListener listener = new MyListener();
+ * emitter.addNotificationListener(listener, null, null);
+ * </pre></blockquote>

+ * @see <a href="../../../javax/management/package-summary.html">
+ *      JMX Specification.</a>
