Summary: Not intuitive, definitely not good as an intro to Java Beans
Comment: If you already know java beans, then you'll find this book somewhat useful since it includes an API reference section. Otherwise, if you're looking to get into beans, I recommend "Core Java" (two parts) or even perhaps "Java 1.2 and JavaScript for C and C++ Programmers" before delving into "JavaBeans Developer's Reference". A major problem with the book is that it gets so technical with very ambiguous direction that you'll have to flip back and forth between pages before you can come to a vague conclusion about what the author is trying to convey. The terminology is difficult to understand also. To the book's credit, however, it does cover beans in detail (such as editors, reflection, property pages, etc.). If only the book was written in a more intuitive fashion, we'd have a heavy hitter.

Summary: Great book! Expalines stuff the others ignore.
Comment: I was very impressed. The author goes out of his way to make sure that aspects of JavaBeans that are not obvious are brought out into the daylight. I liked the chapters on events and relection most of all.
