The BeanBox from Sun BDK (Bean Development Kit) is a prototype visual builder tool. It is a little flaky and not as functional as a more sophisticated commercial builder tool, but can be used to develop beans.
|
To run a bean in the BeanBox, the code must be put into a JAR file: after compiling the .java file, convert the .class file to a JAR file.
|
Among the archive options are
-
c create a new archive
-
f make it a file
-
m use an explicitly given manifest file jar -cfm HelloBean.jar HelloBean.mf HelloBean.class
