     *     );
     * </pre>
     * The keywords correspond to <code>java.beans.PropertyDescriptor</code> and
     * <code>java.beans.FeatureDescriptor</code> properties, e.g. providing a value
     * for displayName is comparable to <code>FeatureDescriptor.setDisplayName()</code>.
     * Using createPropertyDescriptor instead of the PropertyDescriptor
     * constructor and set methods is preferrable in that it regularizes
     * the code in a <code>java.beans.BeanInfo.getPropertyDescriptors()</code>
     * method implementation.  One can use <code>createPropertyDescriptor</code>
     * to set <code>FeatureDescriptor</code> attributes, as in "random attribute"
     * "random object value".
     * <p>
     * All properties should provide a reasonable value for the
     * <code>SHORTDESCRIPTION</code> keyword and should set <code>BOUND</code>
     * to <code>Boolean.TRUE</code> if neccessary.  The remaining keywords
     * are optional.  There's no need to provide values for keywords like
     * READMETHOD if the correct value can be computed, i.e. if the properties
     * get/is method follows the standard beans pattern.
     * <p>
     * The PREFERRED keyword is not supported by the JDK1.1 java.beans package.
     * It's still worth setting it to true for properties that are most
     * likely to be interested to the average developer, e.g. AbstractButton.title
     * is a preferred property, AbstractButton.focusPainted is not.
