Bean Properties Editor/Sheet like Netbeans'

Question

I want to develop a GUI-based java bean property editor(like the one used to edit bean properties in netbeans). Is there any open source java implementation of this?

Answer 1

The Netbeans IDE is built using the Netbeans platform ( http://netbeans.org/features/platform/index.html ) which you can use to build your own applications that don't have to look like IDEs. The learning curve might be a little steep, but there are many tutorials and an active community. You can also just use the bean editor in your own Swing app without implementing the whole platform.
