  - ### MBeanParameterInfo

    public MBeanParameterInfo(String name, String type, String description)
    Constructs an `MBeanParameterInfo` object.
    Parameters:
      `name` - The name of the data
      `type` - The type or class name of the data
      `description` - A human readable description of the data. Optional.

  - ### MBeanParameterInfo

    public MBeanParameterInfo(String name, String type, String description, Descriptor descriptor)
    Constructs an `MBeanParameterInfo` object.
    Parameters:
      `name` - The name of the data
      `type` - The type or class name of the data
      `description` - A human readable description of the data. Optional.
      `descriptor` - The descriptor for the operation. This may be null which is equivalent to an empty descriptor.

- ## Method Details

  - ### clone

    public Object clone()

    Returns a shallow clone of this instance. The clone is obtained by simply calling `super.clone()`, thus calling the default native shallow cloning mechanism implemented by `Object.clone()`. No deeper cloning of any internal field is made.

    Since this class is immutable, cloning is chiefly of interest to subclasses.

    Overrides:
      `clone` in class `Object`
    Returns:
      a clone of this instance.
    See Also:
      - `Cloneable`

  - ### getType

    public String getType()
    Returns the type or class name of the data.
    Returns:
      the type string.

  - ### equals

    public boolean equals(Object o)
    Compare this MBeanParameterInfo to another.
    Overrides:
      `equals` in class `MBeanFeatureInfo`
    Parameters:
      `o` - the object to compare to.
    Returns:
      true if and only if `o` is an MBeanParameterInfo such that its `MBeanFeatureInfo.getName()`, `getType()`, `MBeanFeatureInfo.getDescriptor()`, and `MBeanFeatureInfo.getDescription()` values are equal (not necessarily identical) to those of this MBeanParameterInfo.
