An MXBean is a kind of MBean. For more details see

The Platform MBean Server

The platform MBean server is an MBean server that is built into the JVM. It can be accessed and shared by all managed components that are running in that JVM. It can be retrieved with java.lang.management.ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer(). The platform MBean server was introduced in Java 5. javax.management.MBeanServerFactory can be used to create a different MBean server, or look up an already existing MBean server (that is not the platform server).

For a code example of how to look up the platform MBean server and how to register an arbitrary MBean to it, see
