OK, so if ConstructorProperties is more closely related to CompositeData
than to MXBean per se, then put ConstructorProperties into
javax.management.openmbean. The MXBean spec (i.e. the javadoc) is
obviously completely dependent on that package already.
The desire for a new package seems misplaced to me, given how the real
driver for a new package -- the draft JEP for MBean registration --
isn't going anywhere fast.
