/**
* <p>A convenience class from which to extend all non-visual AbstractBeans. It
* manages the PropertyChange notification system, making it relatively trivial
* to add support for property change events in getters/setters.</p>
*
* <p>A non-visual java bean is a Java class that conforms to the AbstractBean
* patterns to allow visual manipulation of the bean's properties and event
* handlers at design-time.</p>
*
* <p>Here is a simple example bean that contains one property, foo, and the
* proper pattern for implementing property change notification:
* <pre><code>
* public class ABean extends AbstractBean {
* private String foo;
*
* public void setFoo(String newFoo) {
* String old = getFoo();
* this.foo = newFoo;
* firePropertyChange("foo", old, getFoo());
* }
*
* public String getFoo() {
* return foo;
* }
* }
* </code></pre></p>
*
* <p>You will notice that "getFoo()" is used in the setFoo method rather than
* accessing "foo" directly for the gets. This is done intentionally so that if
* a subclass overrides getFoo() to return, for instance, a constant value the
* property change notification system will continue to work properly.</p>
*
* <p>The firePropertyChange method takes into account the old value and the new
* value. Only if the two differ will it fire a property change event. So you can
* be assured from the above code fragment that a property change event will only
* occur if old is indeed different from getFoo()</p>
*
* <p><code>AbstractBean</code> also supports {@link VetoablePropertyChange} events.
* These events are similar to <code>PropertyChange</code> events, except a special
* exception can be used to veto changing the property. For example, perhaps the
* property is changing from "fred" to "red", but a listener deems that "red" is
* unexceptable. In this case, the listener can fire a veto exception and the property must
* remain "fred". For example:
* <pre><code>
* public class ABean extends AbstractBean {
* private String foo;
*
* public void setFoo(String newFoo) throws PropertyVetoException {
* String old = getFoo();
* this.foo = newFoo;
* fireVetoableChange("foo", old, getFoo());
* }
*
* public String getFoo() {
* return foo;
* }
* }
*
* public class Tester {
* public static void main(String... args) {
* try {
* ABean a = new ABean();
* a.setFoo("fred");
* a.addVetoableChangeListener(new VetoableChangeListener() {
* public void vetoableChange(PropertyChangeEvent evt) throws PropertyVetoException {
* if ("red".equals(evt.getNewValue()) {
* throw new PropertyVetoException("Cannot be red!", evt);
* }
* }
* }
* a.setFoo("red");
* } catch (Exception e) {
* e.printStackTrace(); // this will be executed
* }
* }
* }
* </code></pre></p>
