/**

 ** You may explicitly provide a Customizer for your Bean

 ** class, which allows you complete control of the editing

 ** of the Bean.<P>

 **

 ** A Customizer is meant to be embedded in an RAD tool,

 ** and thus must be a descendant of <CODE>java.awt.Component</CODE>.<P>

 **

 ** It must also have a constructor with no arguments.  This

 ** is the constructor that will be called by the RAD tool to

 ** instantiate the Customizer.<P>

 **

 ** Over its lifetime, an instance of a Customizer will only

 ** customize one single Bean.  A new instance of the

 ** Customizer will be instantiated to edit any other Beans.<P>

 **

 ** The Customizer is responsible for notifying its

 ** PropertyChangeListeners of any changes that are made,

 ** according to the rules of PropertyChangeListeners (i.e.

 ** notify the clients <EM>after</EM> the property has

 ** changed).
