Direct Known Subclasses:

PropertySheetView
```
public class PropertySheet
extends javax.swing.JPanel
```
Implements a property sheet for a set of nodes. Can be used as a standalone component (e.g. without a connection to ExplorerManager). For example to display properties of a JavaBean one could use:
```
 Object bean = ...;
 JPanel container = ...;
 PropertySheet ps = new PropertySheet();
 ps.setNodes(new Node[] { new BeanNode(bean) });
 container.add(ps);
 
```
Note that this class should be final, but for backward compatibility, cannot be. Subclassing this class is strongly discouraged
