/**
** 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).
