BeanProperty

Embraces bean property concept. Includes automated property change notifications.
Properties are usually private static final fields of the bean. Only two methods have to be implemented:

• get - how to retrieve property value
• setValue - how to set property value

After that bean's getter methods should simply call property get methods and bean's setter methods should call propertiy set (not setValue) methods. Property change notification will be send automatically and correctly.

Example of such implementation can be found in TaskDialog class

Screenshot

Makes taking screenshots very simple

Screenshot shot = Screenshot.capture( new Rectangle(100,100));

Image can be retrieved from the resulting screenshot or it can be stored as a file:

Image img = shot.getImage();
shot.store( "jpg", new File("C:/image.jpg") );

Graphic environment information can be used to make full screen shots

DisplayMode dm = Screenshot.getDisplayInfo().get(0); // get information for display 0
Screenshot shot = Screenshot.capture( dm.getWidth(),dm.getHeight());
