The Network Beans include a number of beans that implement
networking services such as electronic mail and file transfer
protocols. These beans are non-visual at runtime, but each one
has an associated dialog you can use to customize the bean's
properties and use the associated protocols. You can also subclass
these beans to provide your own customization interface. The network beans are in net.jar. Use the Bean Tester to customize and use these beans or to
bind them to other beans. To subclass these beans and provide your own user interface
instead of the default customization dialog, override the public
method showBeanClient in any of the
beans to generate the interface you want. Note that the default
customization interface will continue to show up when you use the
bean within the Bean Tester, but the interface you provide shows
up at runtime. All Network Beans have been enabled for localization.
Display strings in all beans have been moved to ResourceBundles and
the source for these ResourceBundles have been included in the zip file
in the \resources directory.
This means that you can translate strings
used in the user interface
for languages other than US English.
See the ResourceBundles class documentation in the JDK API reference
for more information.
