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.
