Hi, (Previously sent via an unsubscribed email address, sorry about that)
The java.beans package is part of the java.desktop module which is a bit unfortunate as the package contains quite a few classes useful to manipulate beans and dragging all the desktop classes with them is far from ideal. Typically, we have: - javax.el which uses java.beans.FeatureDescriptor (javax.el is the standard EL implementation used by Bean Validation) - Hibernate ORM which uses java.beans.Introspector (and thus BeanInfo and so on) - <insert your library here> Is there a plan to get java.beans out of java.desktop? Or should we avoid its usage? In our case, we can deal with the Hibernate ORM part but, for javax.el, it might be a bit more complicated as FeatureDescriptor is unfortunately included in specified APIs. Thanks for the feedback. -- Guillaume
