Package com.install4j.api.beaninfo

package com.install4j.api.beaninfo

This package contains the utility classes for writing BeanInfo classes for screens, actions, and form components.

See the API overview for general remarks on how to use the install4j API.

This package is optional. No other packages use this package. By developing BeanInfo classes according to the JavaBean specification, you can control the configurability, presentation and validation of your beans at design time. BeanInfo classes do not influence runtime behavior.

When developing bean infos for your beans, it is recommended to use the appropriate derived class of Install4JBeanInfo as the base class. Install4JPropertyDescriptor and its derived classes provide factory methods for generating property descriptors with the appropriate named attributes.
