Generating BeanInfo

See Also 

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:

  1. In the Projects window, right-click the Bean Patterns subnode of the class and choose BeanInfo Editor.

    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.

  2. Make any desired changes to the properties listed in the right panel of the dialog box and click OK.

    The file classnameBeanInfo is generated in the same package as the class.
