// BeanInfo support class for SBean.java.  This class is used to tell the
// design tool which properties, methods, and events are to be exposed at
// design time.  It also allows us to associate an icon (4 versions) with
// the bean, for display in the design tool.
// In this case we expose only a single property, "theColor".  Since
// other properties (from java.awt.Component) are inherited, these must
// be explicitly hidden using a BeanInfo class.
