What would the impact be on trunk development? Would there be some sort 
of freeze or expectation to hold back trunk development until the 
component release is done, or would the component release be done off of 
the yet-to-be-created M4 branch?

Hi Rafi,

The component release of (just) the JMX Management Console would be done
from trunk.

I would not envisage there being any need for a trunk freeze or hold back,
aside from on the console code itself. I'll test the console against the M4
Java Broker to confirm that it inter-ops ok.

The console hasn't been fixed up for a really long time, so we can only make
it better :-)

Hth,
Marnie
