A BeanCreateInfo describes an item on a Palette that will create a bean in a visual designer. This includes a display name, description, icon, etc. There is also (most importantly) a hook to programmatically manipulate the newly created bean immediately after is has been created. This is useful for setting a default state for the newly created bean.

If the specified JavaBean has an associated DesignInfo, the DesignInfo's 'beanCreated' method will be called before the BeanCreateInfo's 'beanCreated' method is called. This gives the DesignInfo the "first crack", but it gives the BeanCreateInfo the "last word".

IMPLEMENTED BY THE COMPONENT AUTHOR - This interface is designed to be implemented by the component (bean) author. The BasicBeanCreateInfo class can be used for convenience.

A hook that gets called after this JavaBean gets created initially.

A hook that gets called after this JavaBean gets created initially. This is useful for a component author to setup an initial state for their JavaBean when it is first created. Note that this method is only called one time after the JavaBeans are initially created from the palette. This is *not* a hook that is called each time the project is reopened.

NOTE: If the specified bean has an associated DesignInfo class - it will have "first crack" at modifying the initial state of the bean. This method will be called after the DesignInfo one is called.
