The BeanBox is a visual interface that displays (and allows changes to be made to) the properties of a JavaBean and further allows one to see and change the linkage between JavaBeans.

A JavaBean consists of Java Code and possible associated files such as one or more icons, an image or two, a help file etc. This collection of entities is stored in a jar file which is based on the well-known UNIX tar file concept

JavaBeans are naturally used as distributed objects in CORBA or RMI and can be linked to both JDBC (and hence databases) and COM from Microsoft.
