Visual Composition Editor
Visual Composition Editor, shown in Figure 3.6, is a powerful tool for building GUIs (Graphical User Interfaces). You can specify the logic of your application by connecting Visual or GUI Beans with nonvisual Beans. Visual Composition Editor consists of visual and nonvisual beans.
Visual Beans
Visual Beans are subclasses of the Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT) component class. This subclass has the same visual representation at design time that it does at run time.
Nonvisual Beans
This subclass, which doesn't appear at run time, usually represents a program's business logic. At design time, a nonvisual Bean appears as an icon.
