I was fixing a bug on this screen that's when I found out the problem on
the calendar component. I believe this screen was implemented by Nitya
to begin with, in consultation with Sankara in IEC. I can check with
Anissa, and see whether we've to redo this screen to support unknown
event types, and I want Sankara to confirm whether unknown types are
supported. I'm cutting, and pasting the two lines from
https://glassfish.dev.java.net/javaee5/selfmanagement/selfmanagementhome.html

"An event triggers the action to be executed. A set of events are
provided by default with the glassfish and user could extend the events
by using JMX Notification mechanism".

The above line indicates to me that users could extend events. If we've
to redo this screen to support unknown event typest, it's not difficult
to do. We've to provide a properties table for users to add properties
as name/value pairs.

thx
