  44  ** SimpleBeanInfo is a class you may extend to more easily
  45  ** provide select information to the Introspector.  It
  46  ** implements all of the methods in BeanInfo by returning
  47  ** null and forces the Introspector to behave exactly as
  48  ** if there were no BeanInfo class at all (Introspecting
  49  ** everything).<P>
  50  **
  51  ** Overriding one or two of these functions
  52  ** to give explicit information on only those things you
  53  ** wish to give explicit information is perfectly safe,
  54  ** and even desirable.<P>
  55  **
  56  ** See the BeanInfo class for information on what the
  57  ** various methods actually do.
