Use the SmartGuide - BeanInfo Class window to create bean information
class code for the bean you are working with. This produces bean
information for the bean, but not for existing features. When you add
new features, bean information is added to the BeanInfo class.
Before you add any new features, bean information for the BeanInfo page is
obtained by reflection. After you generate the bean information class,
the class is used to find bean information.
