The Properties view shows the properties for the Java™ bean that is selected in either
the Design view or the Java Beans
view. You can use the Properties view to change the value of a given
property.
Each property typically has a get and set method associated with
it, and the value of each property is shown in the Properties view.
To see the full list of properties, you might need to enlarge the
property sheet by making the workbench window larger, by dragging
a border of the Properties view, or double-clicking the Properties
view tab.

to display more advanced properties for the Java bean.
