JavaBeans are reusable software components for Java that can be manipulated visually in a builder tool.[1] Practically, they are classes written in the Java programming language conforming to a particular convention. They are used to encapsulate many objects into a single object (the bean), so that the bean can be passed around rather than the individual objects.
The specification by Sun Microsystems defines them as "reusable software components that can be manipulated visually in a builder tool".
