displaying subcomponents of a bean

Hello All,

I'm trying to build a bean that will display its subcomponents in the navigation
tree of a visual ide.

I have a bean that extends a JPanel, and has 5 JPanels added to the main
panel's card layout. When the user adds the bean to their project, I want
them to be able to add components to the main parent panel as well as the
5 subcomponents that are contained by the main panel.

Using JBuilder Professional 4, dragging a bean on to a project will only
display the bean on the navigation tree. Subcomponents of the bean will not
be displayed. Is there anyway to make 'beans within beans' that can be manipulated
individually, even when bundled together as one bean?

Thanks if you can help
