The focusable property is new in 1.4 and is a boolean and bound property implemented in Component with isFocusable and setFocusable. For some reason, this property is not picked up by the Introspector all allong the class heirarchy.

The MethodDescriptors for a BeanInfo can find the isFocusable()/setFocusable() methods as part of the set.

This has never worked from the earliest days of merlin.
