/**
 ** PropertyDescriptor describes information about a JavaBean property,
 ** by which we mean a property that has been exposed via a pair of
 ** get and set methods.  (There may be no get method, which means
 ** the property is write-only, or no set method, which means the
 ** the property is read-only.)<P>
 **
 ** The constraints put on get and set methods are:<P>
 ** <OL>
 ** <LI>A get method must have signature
 **     <CODE>&lt;propertyType&gt; &lt;getMethodName&gt;()</CODE></LI>
 ** <LI>A set method must have signature
 **     <CODE>void &lt;setMethodName&gt;(&lt;propertyType&gt;)</CODE></LI>
 ** <LI>Either method type may throw any exception.</LI>
 ** <LI>Both methods must be public.</LI>
 ** </OL>
