* The management interface for the runtime system of

* <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#getRuntimeMXBean} method or
* from the {@link ManagementFactory#getPlatformMBeanServer
* platform <tt>MBeanServer</tt>} method.
*
* <p>The <tt>ObjectName</tt> for uniquely identifying the MXBean for
* the runtime system within an MBeanServer is:
* <blockquote>
* {@link ManagementFactory#RUNTIME_MXBEAN_NAME
* <tt>java.lang:type=Runtime</tt>}
* </blockquote>
*
* It can be obtained by calling the
* {@link PlatformManagedObject#getObjectName} method.
*
* <p> This interface defines several convenient methods for accessing
* system properties about the Java virtual machine.
*
* @see ManagementFactory#getPlatformMXBeans(Class)
* @see <a href="../../../javax/management/package-summary.html">
