27 * Contains classes related to developing <em>beans</em> -- components based on
28 * the JavaBeans™ architecture. A few of the classes are used by beans
29 * while they run in an application. For example, the event classes are used by
30 * beans that fire property and vetoable change events (see
31 * {@link java.beans.PropertyChangeEvent}). However, most of the classes in this
32 * package are meant to be used by a bean editor (that is, a development
33 * environment for customizing and putting together beans to create an
34 * application). In particular, these classes help the bean editor create a user
35 * interface that the user can use to customize the bean. For example, a bean
36 * may contain a property of a special type that a bean editor may not know how
37 * to handle. By using the {@code PropertyEditor} interface, a bean developer
38 * can provide an editor for this special type.
39 * <p>
40 * To minimize the resources used by a bean, the classes used by bean editors
41 * are loaded only when the bean is being edited. They are not needed while the
42 * bean is running in an application and therefore not loaded. This information
43 * is kept in what's called a bean-info (see {@link java.beans.BeanInfo}).
44 * <p>
45 * Unless explicitly stated, null values or empty Strings are not valid
46 * parameters for the methods in this package. You may expect to see exceptions
47 * if these parameters are used.
