Possibly, but my concern with this is its pushing too many management details to the bean developers. As long as there is an ability to override/map the raw metadata info to a management view it will work. I guess this really maps to having a ManagementViewDeployer whose output is the tool oriented ManagedObject with its input being the previous deployer metadata and optional ManagementViewDeployer override metadata.
