creating BeanInfo objects in NetBeans 6.1 does not work for some objects
- by Coder
I have recently learned about BeanInfo classes in Java, and have successfully used them to add icons to my custom GUI components which extend swing components such as JTextField, however i have a more specialized GUI component which extends from another one of my GUI components, which then extends from JTextField.  Ie. the class hierarchy is of the form "A - B - JTextField".  I can create a bean info object that works for class B, but when i click on the bean info editor option in netbeans to create a bean info object for class A, nothing happens.  Ie. there is no error pop-up and a bean info object is not created.  There isn't much difference between class A and B.  Both A and B have default no argument constructors and they are very similar to each other.  The only thing i can really think of is that A uses generics and B does not.
I would like to create a beaninfo object for class A so that i can add custom icons for that component.  Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
