WebRunner Bean Tools
Sidebar WebRunner Bean Tools include the Bean Wizard, Tester and Works, and the Migration Assistant. The WebRunner Toolkit also includes a preview version of the BeanExtender. Coming soon: a commercial version of the BeanExtender, fully integrated with the WebRunner Bean Tools.

Bean Tools help you create your first Bean quickly, and provide you with a sophisticated architecture that allows your application to scale as your needs change. Included are the class libraries, wizard and utilities you need to get started. If you have already developed part of your application using ActiveX controls, the WebRunner Migration Assistant will help you move to 100% Pure Java.

The Bean Wizard is even faster now with dramatic improvements in the performance of its code generation. See what's new for more info.

The WebRunner Toolkit includes a set of pre-built, starter JavaBeans to make your final application assembly easier. Our Network Beans help you build network-aware applications. User Interface Beans provide common widgets in JavaBeans form, and Gauge Beans provide a set of gauges, dials, and meters for simple display of complex data. Try any of our ready-to-go Beans, and you'll discover the convenience of significantly reduced development time.

The WebRunner Toolkit has been updated with two new Beans: the Date Picker Bean and the MaskedTextField Bean. In addition, we've provided a new version of our popular MultiColumnListbox Bean in preview form.
