Bean Pattern Nodes in the Explorer

For each of your source files, the Explorer displays all bean properties and event sources under the Bean Patterns (Bean Patterns category node) category node. You can view a property sheet for each bean property or event set by right-clicking its node in the Explorer and choosing Properties. Double-click any bean property or event source's node in the Explorer to jump to its location in the Source Editor.

You can generate a BeanInfo class for your file by right-clicking the Bean Patterns category node and choosing BeanInfo Editor. To add a new bean property or event source, right-click the Bean Patterns category node and choose from the Add menu.
