MX4J is a project to create an open source implementation of Java Management Extensions. The JMX specification is a Java Specification Request (see JSR 003^[1]) currently in maintenance release 1.2; the new JSR 160^[2] has been issued to address connectivity to a remote JMX agent. MX4J implements both JSR 3 and JSR 160.

The MX4J project goals can be simplified as:

• Closely adhere to the JMX specification.
• Develop a highly robust codebase.
• Be 100% compatible with the reference implementations.

Due to its simplicity, MX4J is widely adopted in open source projects like Jetty Server, Tomcat, Geronimo, Harmony, ObjectWeb JOnAS and many others.
