Are you looking for something like the information in the "new features" table 
in the 10.3.1.4 release notes [1]?
If so, I would like to call this feature "JMX monitoring and management 
interface", and to use a more user friendly description:

"Java Management Extensions (JMX) for Derby, allowing local and remote 
monitoring and management of a running Derby system (this release includes a 
basic set of MBeans - it is expected that more JMX functionality will be added 
in later releases)."

I updated the wiki page with these changes. Feel free to suggest different wording.
