Don't know why this struck me, but a Bean seems to be 1) A class OR 2) An object instantiated from such a class So I guess when someone asks me "What is a Bean?" I could answer with "It's an instance of a Bean". I hope I'm the only one disturbed enough to be bothered by this, but has any one else noted this? It's actually caused problems for me - I was forced to teach a mini-course in Beans once (thanks much boss - I hadn't so much as written a Bean at that point), and everyone was confused by the BeanBox docs, which would tell you to select a bran from the menu (beans=classes), and talk about event handling for your beans (beans=objects). What a mess. Bad enough the jar tool docs wer wrong and on one told me. Anyhoo, to the sick few of you who also take this seriously, I use Beans to mean objects (seems appropriate), and I call the classes Bean classes. If this is simply incorrect, I'd love to hear about it.
