Beans can be manipulated programmatically but their most efficient use is within visual development or runtime environments.
A typical PC desktop example is a GUI builder in which both the control buttons and the application-specific computation and graphics modules are represented as beans and suitably positioned and connected in the visual interactive mode.
At the moment, JavaSoft offers a simple BeanBox called BDK but a broad suite of more sophisticated and powerful IDEs is under development by the Web industry.
Most notable BeanBox called InfoBus, developed by Lotus and used in their Kona product for Beans based electronic presentation tools will become part of future JDK releases.
Another interesting BeanBox technology called BeanConnect will be offered by Netscape and will provide HTML/JavaScript support for bean manipulation and connectivity.
