Ant Tasks for Commons Modeler Integration.
[mbean / MLET] [jmx-attribute] [jmx-operation] [mbeans-descriptors]

The commons-modeler package includes a set of custom tasks for the Ant build tool, which lets you use Ant to automate the loading of MBean descriptor information, dynamic creation of JMX MBeans, and calling operations and attribute setters on those MBeans. If your application can assemble itself based JMX Mbean operations, this means that you can now use Ant scripts to manage the lifecycle of your application's components, without having to write Java code for this purpose.

To use these tasks, you must copy `commons-modeler.jar` into the `lib` subdirectory of your Ant installation, or make sure that it is on the CLASSPATH being used to execute Ant.

## jmx-attribute

Locates the JMX MBean identified by the `objectName` attribute, and calls its `setAttribute()` operation, passing in the attribute name specified by `attribute` and the value specified by `value`, after converting the value to the type specified by `type`.

objectName | The JMX ObjectName that identifies the MBean whose `setAttribute()` method will be called. | Yes
type | The data type of the attribute value to be set. If not specified, will be assumed to be a `String`. Otherwise, must be one of `ObjectName`, `boolean`, or `int`. | No
value | String representation of the value to which this attribute will be set. Either `value` or `valueRef` must be specified. | No
