Creating a New Java Bean

# Using the New Java Bean Dialog Box

You can use the steps below to add a new bean to your project with the New Java Bean window. You can create multiple beans in a beans project.

To add a bean:

1. Type the name of the bean in the Bean Name box.
   The name of the bean can be one of the following:
   - A short file name, for example, `Jelly`
   - A full path name, for example, `my-install-dir\BeanBag\Jelly`
2. Decide if you want the bean to have an accompanying BeanInfo file and/or a Customizer file, and select the appropriate checkbox(es).
   You can select both the BeanInfo check box and Customizer check box, or just one, depending on your component plan.
   - By selecting the BeanInfo file checkbox, Java WorkShop creates a default BeanInfo source file for the bean that you can modify or extend.
   - By selecting the Customizer file checkbox, Java WorkShop creates a default Customizer source file that you can modify.
3. Click Create New Java Bean.
4. Decide if you want to add another bean to this project.
   - If you want to add another bean, repeat steps 1 - 3 above.
   - If you do not want to add another bean, click Finish.
