Where does my bean builder tool look for BeanInfo classes for its beans?

Besides in the same package as the associated JavaBean component, the JavaBeans Introspector maintains a search path. This search path is initially the lone sun.beans.infos package. However, this can be modified to be any number of areas, including or excluding the default. To find out the current search path, you would ask the getBeanInfoSearchPath() method of the Introspector class.
