A BeanInfo class contains information about a bean, including properties, events, and methods. BeanInfo is an optional class, and you can decide what information is included in it.
To generate BeanInfo for a class:
The BeanInfo Editor dialog box appears. The left panel shows five main nodes: Bean Info, Bean, Properties, Event Sources, and Methods. The right panel shows properties of the selected node. For information about the nodes and subnodes in the BeanInfo Editor, see BeanInfo Editor Dialog Box.
The file classnameBeanInfo is generated in the same package as the class.

The BeanInfo Editor dialog box generates only
elements that conform to the JavaBeans specification. If you want to add
bean properties with nonstandard names, you should write your own BeanInfo
class in the Source Editor. Use the BeanInfo template to provide the skeleton
code. Choose File ![]() |
