A Java Bean%#$@%?

Hi Guys,

What is the exact meaning of a Java Bean?

So far i have come across only one definition on it.

"It is a resuable software Component".

I just don't understand what the heck does this mean.Please tell me what is a bean and where is it exactly used.Are there any resources where i can get more info in it?

Thanx

Hemansu..
