/**
 * The management interface for the runtime system of
 * the Java virtual machine.
 *
 * <p> A Java virtual machine has a single instance of the implementation
 * class of this interface.  This instance implementing this interface is
 * an <a href="ManagementFactory.html#MXBean">MXBean
 * that can be obtained by calling
 * the {@link ManagementFactory#getRuntimeMXBean} method or
 * from the {@link ManagementFactory#getPlatformMBeanServer
 * platform <tt>MBeanServer} method.
 *
 * <p>The ObjectName for uniquely identifying the MXBean for
 * the runtime system within an MBeanServer is:
 * <blockquote>
 *    {@link ManagementFactory#RUNTIME_MXBEAN_NAME
 *           <tt>java.lang:type=Runtime}
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * It can be obtained by calling the
 * {@link PlatformManagedObject#getObjectName} method.
 *
 * <p> This interface defines several convenient methods for accessing
 * system properties about the Java virtual machine.
 *
 * @see ManagementFactory#getPlatformMXBeans(Class)
 * @see <a href="../../../javax/management/package-summary.html">
 *      JMX Specification.</a>
 * @see <a href="package-summary.html#examples">
