This package contains meta data for describing JavaFX Beans.
The set of available meta data can be used to describe both visual,
and non-visual beans. Any bean may have properties and events.
The meta-data comes in two parts. A DesignInfo is a side-car
file which is ultimately what is used by tools to understand the
structure, default values, and other meta information about a bean.
This DesignInfo can be created by hand, or it can be automatically
generated using annotations and an annotation processor.
Although a Bean can have any arbitrary methods, in general we
support only Beans with default constructors or
a builder. We are happy to construct immutable objects or complicated
objects by deferring to a builder rather than attempting to
construct the object directly. In such a case, the only methods of
constructed supported on the builder are those that directly relate
to properties defined on the object.
Any bean may have zero or more Properties. A Property may be
a simple property (such as "visible" on Node), or complex (such as
"font" or "clip"), or an event (such as "onMouseMoved"). But they are
all just properties (even events are just properties, as are
callbacks). Both Event properties and Callback properties are handled
specially since they take code blocks rather than normal objects.
