Uses of Package
java.beans

Packages that use java.beans
java.awt Contains all of the classes for creating user interfaces and for painting graphics and images. 
java.beans Contains classes related to developing beans -- components based on the JavaBeansTM architecture. 
java.beans.beancontext Provides classes and interfaces relating to bean context. 
javax.swing Provides a set of "lightweight" (all-Java language) components that, to the maximum degree possible, work the same on all platforms. 
javax.swing.event Provides for events fired by Swing components. 
javax.swing.plaf.basic Provides user interface objects built according to the Basic look and feel. 
javax.swing.plaf.metal Provides user interface objects built according to the Java look and feel (once codenamed Metal), which is the default look and feel. 
javax.swing.table Provides classes and interfaces for dealing with javax.swing.JTable
 

Classes in java.beans used by java.awt
PropertyVetoException
          A PropertyVetoException is thrown when a proposed change to a property represents an unacceptable value.
 

Classes in java.beans used by java.beans
BeanInfo
          A bean implementor who wishes to provide explicit information about their bean may provide a BeanInfo class that implements this BeanInfo interface and provides explicit information about the methods, properties, events, etc, of their bean.
Encoder
          An Encoder is a class which can be used to create files or streams that encode the state of a collection of JavaBeans in terms of their public APIs.
FeatureDescriptor
          The FeatureDescriptor class is the common baseclass for PropertyDescriptor, EventSetDescriptor, and MethodDescriptor, etc.
IntrospectionException
          Thrown when an exception happens during Introspection.
PersistenceDelegate
          The PersistenceDelegate class takes the responsibility for expressing the state of an instance of a given class in terms of the methods in the class's public API.
PropertyChangeListener
          A "PropertyChange" event gets fired whenever a bean changes a "bound" property.
PropertyDescriptor
          A PropertyDescriptor describes one property that a Java Bean exports via a pair of accessor methods.
PropertyEditor
          A PropertyEditor class provides support for GUIs that want to allow users to edit a property value of a given type.
PropertyVetoException
          A PropertyVetoException is thrown when a proposed change to a property represents an unacceptable value.
Statement
          A Statement object represents a primitive statement in which a single method is applied to a target and a set of arguments - as in "a.setFoo(b)".
VetoableChangeListener
          A VetoableChange event gets fired whenever a bean changes a "constrained" property.
 

Classes in java.beans used by java.beans.beancontext
BeanInfo
          A bean implementor who wishes to provide explicit information about their bean may provide a BeanInfo class that implements this BeanInfo interface and provides explicit information about the methods, properties, events, etc, of their bean.
DesignMode
           This interface is intended to be implemented by, or delegated from, instances of java.beans.beancontext.BeanContext, in order to propagate to its nested hierarchy of java.beans.beancontext.BeanContextChild instances, the current "designTime" property.
PropertyChangeListener
          A "PropertyChange" event gets fired whenever a bean changes a "bound" property.
PropertyVetoException
          A PropertyVetoException is thrown when a proposed change to a property represents an unacceptable value.
VetoableChangeListener
          A VetoableChange event gets fired whenever a bean changes a "constrained" property.
Visibility
          Under some circumstances a bean may be run on servers where a GUI is not available.

PropertyVetoException
          A PropertyVetoException is thrown when a proposed change to a property represents an unacceptable value.
 

Classes in java.beans used by javax.swing.event
PropertyChangeSupport
          This is a utility class that can be used by beans that support bound properties.
