> the beancontext package was added (by me) in JDK 1.2 to provide JavaBeans(tm) with a containment and services hierarchy.
>
> based upon concepts from OpenDoc, which was a popular component model at the time, the API pre-dated the addition of language features such as annotations, and the invention and adoption of programming design patterns such as "Inversion of Control" and/or "Dependency Injection".
>
> This API (package) has not evolved with either the language or current design trends, as such it is, at best, anachronistic, and is probably an anti-pattern that should be avoided.
>
> This package is therefore deprecated **FOR REMOVAL IN AT FUTURE RELEASE**
