# Java Beans Lite
Lightweight and fast `java.beans.Introspector` reimplementation used to remove dependency on `java.desktop` module for Bean Introspection.
## Problem
The [java.desktop](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/docs/api/java.desktop-summary.html) module introduced in JDK 9 encapsulates all AWT, Swing, Image and Sound packages from Java standard libraries.
In addition to that, it contains the `java.beans` package with helper classes to interact with *Java Beans*, specifically doing introspection.
Due to its tight dependency with AWT, it cannot be easily removed from `java.desktop` module, causing any thirdparty library that uses `java.beans` package to be dependent of all `java.desktop` classes, adding extra `12mb` of size overhead into the JVM installation and some extra memory usage.
## Solution
Reimplemented `java.beans.Introspector` class to do analysis of Java Beans in a very lightweight and super fast way (analysis results are cached automatically) with only `java.base` module packages dependency.
The initial implementation is a small subset of `Introspection` class methods, it doesn't implement the full interface.
## Usage
### Using as a `java.beans` replacement
1. Add a Maven Dependency
```xml
com.github.panga
java-beans-lite
1.0.2
```
2. Find all ocurrences of `import java.beans` and replace with `import lite.beans`.
