020     * An interface to represent an object being managed.

022     * This allows you to gain fine grained control of managing objects with Camel.
023     * For example various Camel components will implement this interface to provide
024     * management to their endpoints and consumers.
025     * <p/>
026     * A popular choice is to use Spring JMX annotations to decorate your object to pinpoint
027     * the JMX attributes and operations. If you do this then you do <b>not</b> need to use
028     * this interface. This interface is only if you need to be in full control of the MBean
029     * and therefore can return a {@link javax.management.MBeanInfo} object.

031     * @version 
032     * @deprecated will be removed in Camel 3.0. Instead use Spring JMX annotations,
