As long as we stick to standard JMX conventions (get/set for properties, etc.), we could have a usable GUI console for (almost) free. And would make integration into RHQ very simple. Doing it that way should allow you to use the RHQ JMX plugin to connect and use your MBeans with very little to no code (just define your MBean metadata in the RHQ plugin and you get the RHQ production-level management features "for free"). Your plugin could then conceivably be deployed in the embedded console and work in there too. Your developers can use JConsole, MC4J or similar JMX consoles as a alternative, lightweight management console.
