What I came up with, which works but is, to me, black magic:

thufir@arrakis:~/beans$ cat beans/src/SourceTableBean.java 

import java.beans.PropertyChangeEvent;

public class SourceTableBean extends javax.swing.JPanel /*implements 
PropertyChangeListener*/ {

    int currentRow = 1;
    //private final PropertyChangeSupport pcs = new PropertyChangeSupport
(this);

    public SourceTableBean() {
        initComponents();
    }

    public void setCurrentRow(int newRow) {
        int oldRow = currentRow;
        currentRow = newRow;
        //pcs.firePropertyChange("row", oldRow, newRow);
        this.firePropertyChange("row", oldRow, newRow);
    }

    
    // <editor-fold defaultstate="collapsed" desc="Generated Code">//GEN-

I'm not totally sure that it's reliable, there seems to be a delay in 
registering user clicks -- but I'll live with that.  I think that a 
PropertyChangeSupport object would be useful for more complex situations, 
such as if the SourceBean had multiple buttons.

Please do critique!  I just need to bang out some code for now, but would 
like to know if there's a better way.  I didn't get a chance to look at 
your solution wrt to constructors, yet...
