/**

 * <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>

 * The convention is for the value of this field to contain a string

 *

 * <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 id="exceptions"><th scope="row">exceptions<td>String[]</td>

 * <td>MBeanAttributeInfo, MBeanConstructorInfo, MBeanOperationInfo</td>

 *

 * <td>The class names of the exceptions that can be thrown when invoking a

 * constructor or operation, or getting an attribute. The meaning of this field

 * is defined by this specification but the field is not set or used by the

 * JMX API itself. Exceptions thrown when

 * setting an attribute are specified by the field

 * <a href="#setExceptions">{@code setExceptions}</a>.

 *

 * <tr id="immutableInfo"><th scope="row"><i>immutableInfo</i><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.  See also the <a

 *

 * <tr id="infoTimeout"><th scope="row">infoTimeout</th><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

 * decimal string.  This provides a hint from a DynamicMBean or any

 * 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

 * value zero, it is not recommended to cache the MBeanInfo unless it

 * has the {@code immutableInfo} set to {@code true} or it has <a

 * <tr id="metricType"><th scope="row">metricType</th><td>String</td>

 * <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.

 * field is set in the Descriptor for all instances of {@link

 * OpenMBeanAttributeInfoSupport}, {@link

 * OpenMBeanOperationInfoSupport}, and {@link

 * OpenMBeanParameterInfoSupport}.  It is also set for attributes,

 * operations, and parameters of MXBeans.</p>

 *

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

 * Notification#getUserData() user data} will have.</td>

 *

 * <td>MBeanAttributeInfo<br>MBeanOperationInfo<br>MBeanParameterInfo</td>

 *

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

 * {@link MXBean} interface method that produced this {@code

 * MBeanAttributeInfo} (etc).  For example, a method<br> <code>public

 * </code> {@link MemoryUsage}<code> getHeapMemoryUsage();</code><br>

 * in an MXBean interface defines an attribute called {@code

 * HeapMemoryUsage} of type {@link CompositeData}.  The {@code

 * originalType} field in the Descriptor for this attribute will have

 * by the field <a href="#exceptions">{@code exceptions}</a>.

 *

 * <tr><th scope="row">severity</th><td>String<br>Integer</td>

 * <td>MBeanNotificationInfo</td>

 *

 * <td>The severity of this notification.  It can be 0 to mean

 * unknown severity or a value from 1 to 6 representing decreasing

 * levels of severity.  It can be represented as a decimal string or

 * an {@code Integer}.</td>

 *

 * <tr><th scope="row">since</th><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

 * collectively called an <em>information model</em>.  The

 * application may also define versions of this model, and use the

 * {@code "since"} field to record the version in which an element

 * first appeared.</td>

 * Specification</a>.  The following table summarizes these fields.  Note

 * that when the Type in this table is Number, a String that is the decimal

 * <p>Nothing prevents the use of these fields in MBeans that are not Model
