In a recent blog entry, Bill Burke is talking about the features of the new JBoss microkernel. Incidentally, Bill mentions that the architecture will not use the "older" JMX based kernel :

We will continue to support JBoss 4 and earlier JMX service beans. What you won't see is that the new JBoss microcontainer will be under the covers instead of the older JMX-based kernel.

I'm sure that this change of architecture will not prevent the instrumentation of deployed JEE applications through JMX and will not impact JBoss support for JSR77, as shown on page 20 of the JBoss roadmap.

In the press announcement for the 2006 JBoss world at Las Vegas, JBoss announced the open souring of the agent used in the JBoss Operations Network.

Open source strategy for management platform: JBoss will open source the core systems
management agent in JBoss Operations Network (ON) to create and drive broadened adoption and
collaboration around its open management platform. With this announcement, backed by a massive
JBoss developer and ISV community, software vendors and customers now have a foundation for
building their own management agents, which will enable interoperability across heterogeneous IT
environments. A special management and operations track at the conference will provide further
details on the JBoss ON roadmap and integration with Red Hat Network
