Customization provides a MEANS for modifying the appearance and behavior of a bean within an application builder so it meets your specific needs. There are several levels of customization available for a bean developer to ALLOW other DEVELOPERS to get maximum benefit from a bean?s potential functionality.

1.By using a property editor. Each bean property has its own property editor. The NetBeans GUI Builder USUALLY displays a bean's property editors in the Properties window. The property editor that is associated with a particular property type EDITS that property type.
2. By using customizers. Customizers give you complete GUI control over bean customization. Customizers are used where property editors are not practical or applicable. Unlike a property editor, which is associated with a property, a customizer is associated with a bean.
