Description
Gnenerating complete BeanInfo for a bean is tedious.

It would be very useful to have a tool that for a given Bean would
use introspection to figure out the default BeanInfo and then generate
a template FooBeanInfo.java file containg all that information so
that a user then could go in and tweak and edit the default information,
rather than having to do a whole bunch of stuff from scratch.

I think this is likely to be pretty useful for beans developers.

To simplify review I decided to split the fix to the following parts: (4058433) Introduce new annotations and support them in the Introspector (4763438) Replace @beaninfo tags in Swing with introduced annonations (7179078) Remove @beaninfo processing from the makefiles

We are going to configure generating of BeanInfo classes via annotations.

EVALUATION We can use annotations instead of external tool. See 5017936.

EVALUATION I'm finishing the work started by Hans Muller and Borland to generalize the doclet that parses the @beaninfo tags and uses them to supplement the Introspected classes to construct rich BeanInfo's. I'm hoping to have this ready and presented for JavaOne 2K. mark.davidson@Eng 2000-02-16
