This looks reasonable to me.

I'm fine with the proposed spec change and look into the addition of 
javax.management.ConstructorProperties later.   For now, to register 
such a MXBean on a runtime of compact3 profile (without java.beans), it 
will fail with NotCompliantMBeanException that helps diagnosing the 
problem (unless a type can be reconstructed via other rules).
