Chapter 8. JavaBeans Components
The official definition of a bean, as given in the JavaBeans specification, is: "A bean is a reusable software component based on Sun's JavaBeans specification that can be manipulated visually in a builder tool." Once you implement a bean, others can use it in a builder environment such as NetBeans or JBuilder to produce GUI applications more efficiently. We do not tell you in detail how to use those environmentsyou should refer to the documentation that the vendors provide. This chapter explains what you need to know about beans in order to implement them so that other programmers can use your beans easily. NOTE
