A BeanCreateInfoSet is a group version of the BeanCreateInfo interface. It describes a single item on a Palette that will create a set of beans 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 beans immediately after they have been created. This is useful for setting the default state for the newly created set of beans.

If the any of the specified JavaBeans have an associated DesignInfo, the DesignInfo's 'beanCreatedSetup' method will be called before the BeanCreateInfoSet's 'beansCreatedSetup' method will be called. This gives the DesignInfo the "first crack", but it ultimately gives the BeanCreateInfoSet the "last word".

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

A hook that gets called after the full set of JavaBean gets created.

A hook that gets called after the full set of JavaBean gets created. This is useful for a component author to setup an initial state for a set of JavaBeans when they are 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.

If the any of the specified JavaBeans have an associated DesignInfo, the DesignInfo's 'beanCreated' method will be called before each of the BeanCreateInfo's 'beanCreated' methods are called. Once all of the beans have been created, and the individual 'beanCreated' methods have been called, this 'beansCreated' method will be called. This gives the DesignInfo the "first crack", but it ultimately gives the BeanCreateInfoSet the "last word".
