Wow, docs... *salivate* ;-)

I think I understand how this is supposed to work, but have a few 
high-level questions:

1. Basically, there are two possibilities: tagging the source or writing 
the .mxinfo file by hand. Wouldn't it be strategically better to do the 
latter, as these .mxinfo files could be used outside of Phoenix? I 
introduce a Phoenix-dependency (or maybe only a xdoclet-dependency?) 
when I use the (admittedly more comfortable) source tagging. OTOH my 
apps are Phoenix-dependent anyway... any other strategic issues to consider?

2. Currently I use a MyClassMBean class with interfaces, which are 
implemented by MyClassImpl. Apparently this is now the "old" way to do 
JMX, does that mean by using the new way I can get rid of the 
MyClassMBean class entirely?

3. Where to put the .mxinfo file in the SAR I build? In SAR-INF, next to 
config.xml et. al.?

thanks in advance,

Ulrich
