* <p>
* The JavaBeans™ specification defines the notion of design time as is a
* mode in which JavaBeans instances should function during their composition
* and customization in a interactive design, composition or construction tool,
* as opposed to runtime when the JavaBean is part of an applet, application,
* or other live Java executable abstraction.
