PRESENT BEANS.

DefaultBean.java (extends JPanel (standard in Swing)): Just a JPanel with addListener(BeanListener l), removeListener(BeanListener l), and callValueChange(Object value) methods for adding listeners, removing listeners, and firing BeanValueChange events.

Pager.java (extends DefaultBean.java): this is an AcrobatReader-page-browser-like bean that allows you to easy browse a list of values. Each time you drag the slider, click a button or type a number an Integer value is produced and a BeanValueChanged event is fired returning an Object value. Catch this event and cast the value produced to a Integer (or even an int) and use it to move your list pointer to this position. An example of use can be found in SamplePanel.java
