+/**
+ * <p>Additional metadata for a JMX element.  A {@code Descriptor}
+ * is associated with a {@link MBeanInfo}, {@link MBeanAttributeInfo}, etc.
+ * It consists of a collection of fields.  A field is a name and an
+ * associated value.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>Field names are not case-sensitive.  The names {@code descriptorType},
+ * {@code descriptortype}, and {@code DESCRIPTORTYPE} are all equivalent.
+ * However, the case that was used when the field was first set is preserved
+ * in the result of the {@link #getFields} and {@link #getFieldNames}
+ * methods.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>Not all field names and values are predefined.
+ * New fields can be defined and added by any program.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>A descriptor can be mutable or immutable.
+ * An immutable descriptor, once created, never changes.
+ * The <code>Descriptor</code> methods that could modify the contents
+ * of the descriptor will throw an exception
+ * for an immutable descriptor.  Immutable descriptors are usually
+ * instances of {@link ImmutableDescriptor} or a subclass.  Mutable
+ * descriptors are usually instances of
+ * {@link javax.management.modelmbean.DescriptorSupport} or a subclass.
+ *
+ * <p>Certain fields are used by the JMX implementation.  This means
+ * either that the presence of the field may change the behavior of
+ * the JMX API or that the field may be set in descriptors returned by
+ * the JMX API.  These fields appear in <i>italics</i> in the table
+ * below, and each one has a corresponding constant in the {@link JMX}
+ * class.  For example, the field {@code defaultValue} is represented
+ * by the constant {@link JMX#DEFAULT_VALUE_FIELD}.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>Certain other fields have conventional meanings described in the
+ * table below but they are not required to be understood or set by
+ * the JMX implementation.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>Field names defined by the JMX specification in this and all
+ * future versions will never contain a period (.).  Users can safely
+ * create their own fields by including a period in the name and be
+ * sure that these names will not collide with any future version of
+ * the JMX API.  It is recommended to follow the Java package naming
+ * convention to avoid collisions between field names from different
+ * origins.  For example, a field created by {@code example.com} might
+ * have the name {@code com.example.interestLevel}.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>Note that the values in the {@code defaultValue}, {@code
+ * legalValues}, {@code maxValue}, and {@code minValue} fields should
+ * be consistent with the type returned by the {@code getType()}
+ * method for the associated {@code MBeanAttributeInfo} or {@code
+ * MBeanParameterInfo}.  For MXBeans, this means that they should be
+ * of the mapped Java type, called <em>opendata</em>(J) in the <a
+ * href="MXBean.html#mapping-rules">MXBean type mapping rules</a>.</p>
+ *
+ * <table border="1" cellpadding="5">

+ *
+ * <td>An indication that this element of the information model is no
+ * longer recommended for use.  A set of MBeans defined by an
+ * application is collectively called an <em>information model</em>.
+ * The convention is for the value of this field to contain a string
+ * that is the version of the model in which the element was first
+ * deprecated, followed by a space, followed by an explanation of the
+ * deprecation, for example {@code "1.3 Replaced by the Capacity
+ * attribute"}.</td>
+ *
+ * <tr><td>descriptionResource<br>BundleBaseName</td><td>String</td><td>Any</td>
+ *
+ * <td>The base name for the {@link ResourceBundle} in which the key given in
+ * the {@code descriptionResourceKey} field can be found, for example

+ * field is defined by this specification but the field is not set or
+ * used by the JMX API itself.</td>
+ *
+ * <tr><td>descriptionResourceKey</td><td>String</td><td>Any</td>
+ *
+ * <td>A resource key for the description of this element.  In
+ * conjunction with the {@code descriptionResourceBundleBaseName},
+ * this can be used to find a localized version of the description.
+ * The meaning of this field is defined by this specification but the
+ * field is not set or used by the JMX API itself.</td>
+ *
+ * <tr><td>enabled</td><td>String</td>
+ * <td>MBeanAttributeInfo<br>MBeanNotificationInfo<br>MBeanOperationInfo</td>
+ *
+ * <td>The string {@code "true"} or {@code "false"} according as this
+ * item is enabled.  When an attribute or operation is not enabled, it
+ * exists but cannot currently be accessed.  A user interface might
+ * present it as a greyed-out item.  For example, an attribute might
+ * only be meaningful after the {@code start()} method of an MBean has
+ * been called, and is otherwise disabled.  Likewise, a notification
+ * might be disabled if it cannot currently be emitted but could be in
+ * other circumstances.</td>

+ * <tr><td><a name="immutableInfo"><i>immutableInfo</i></a><td>String</td>
+ * <td>MBeanInfo</td>
+ *
+ * <td>The string {@code "true"} or {@code "false"} according as this
+ * MBean's MBeanInfo is <em>immutable</em>.  When this field is true,
+ * the MBeanInfo for the given MBean is guaranteed not to change over
+ * the lifetime of the MBean.  Hence, a client can read it once and
+ * cache the read value.  When this field is false or absent, there is
+ * no such guarantee, although that does not mean that the MBeanInfo
+ * will necessarily change.</td>
+ *
+ * <tr><td>infoTimeout</td><td>String<br>Long</td><td>MBeanInfo</td>
+ *
+ * <td>The time in milli-seconds that the MBeanInfo can reasonably be
+ * expected to be unchanged.  The value can be a {@code Long} or a

+ * MBean that does not define {@code immutableInfo} as {@code true}
+ * that the MBeanInfo is not likely to change within this period and
+ * therefore can be cached.  When this field is missing or has the

+ * <td>MBeanAttributeInfo<br>MBeanOperationInfo</td>
+ *
+ * <td>The type of a metric, one of the strings "counter" or "gauge".
+ * A metric is a measurement exported by an MBean, usually an
+ * attribute but sometimes the result of an operation.  A metric that
+ * is a <em>counter</em> has a value that never decreases except by
+ * being reset to a starting value.  Counter metrics are almost always
+ * non-negative integers.  An example might be the number of requests
+ * received.  A metric that is a <em>gauge</em> has a numeric value
+ * that can increase or decrease.  Examples might be the number of
+ * open connections or a cache hit rate or a temperature reading.

+ * <td>MBeanInfo</td>
+ *

+ *
+ * <p>This field can be set for an {@code MBeanNotificationInfo}, in

+ *
+ * <td><p>The original Java type of this element as it appeared in the

+ * an {@code Integer}.</td>
+ *
+ * <tr><td>since</td><td>String</td><td>Any</td>
+ *
+ * <td>The version of the information model in which this element
+ * was introduced.  A set of MBeans defined by an application is
