  • Library overview

    The JavaBeans Component Library (JBCL) is a full-featured API for Java application development. The JBCL is built on the com.sun.java.Swing base architecture and uses this to deliver professional JavaBeans. All JBCL components root from JComponent, which adds transparency, tooltips, and pluggable look and feel. The JBCL includes texture mapping on all components and is "lightweight", using no native window handles, and all painting logic low-level. All components are also serializable.

    The borland packages and their groups of classes are listed below.

    Visit the jbcl newsgroup on the Borland Web page at news://forums.borland.com/borland.public.jbuilder.jbcl. This newsgroup is dedicated to JBuilder's JavaBeans Component Library issues and is actively monitored by our support engineers as well as the JBuilder Research and Development team.

    datastore package
    The datastore package provides features for persistent row storage and caching for JBuilder DataSet objects, Java Objects, and arbitrary files.

    dbSwing package
    The dbSwing package contains data-aware extensions to components in the com.sun.java.swing package and includes controls, comboBoxes, text fields and model classes.

    control package
    The control package contains UI components such as controls, dialogs, and containers, including data-aware, model-view components.

    jbcl.dataset package
    The dataset package contains components for general data connectivity. It provides support for data-aware controls and visual development of data applications. (See also, borland.sql.dataset package.)

    io package
    The io package contains specialized stream classes for input and output.

    layout package
    The layout package contains layout manager and constraint classes, such as XYLayout for rapid prototyping.

    model package
    The model package contains model interfaces and classes to store data items for composite components, for easy updating of the items shown in UI controls.

    util package
    The util package contains utility classes and interfaces, such as interfaces containing groups of constants.

    view package
    The view package contains views, item painters, and item editors. Used with classes in the borland.jbcl.control package to form composite components.

    sql.dataset package
    The borland.sql.dataset package contains components for JDBC-specific database connectivity. (See also the borland.jbcl.dataset package.)
