    • value

      String value
      The description to be applied to the annotated element. This value must not be empty. It can either be the actual string that is inserted into the MBean info class, or a key into a resource bundle associated with the ManagedObjectManager. If there is no bundle value associated with the key, or no resource bundle is specified, the value is used directly in the MBean info class.
    • key

      String key
      Optional key to use in a resource bundle for this description. If present, a gmbal tool will generate a resource bundle that contains key=value taken from the description annotation.

      If this key is not present, the default key is given by the class name, if this annotation appears on a class, or the class name.method name if this annotation appears on a method. It is an error to use the default value for more than one method of the same name, except for setters and getters.
