I think what this refers to is the aspect of JB to have a bean bundled 
together with a GUI component and that this can be used to configure the 
bean for use.  I have never seen this done but then again I'm mostly 
under way on server side.

If there are some examples where that approach has been used 
successfully (or even used at all) I'd be interested to hear them.

When looking for reasons why there is no widespread adoption then maybe 
we have to look at general issues with component based development - and 
here I mean that version of CBD where you go into a store and buy 
components from different vendors with the functionality you need and 
then you "only" plug your application together.  Of course there are a 
lot of components around (some view every class as a component) but in 
my experience they are usually created by one team.

Several other aspects of JB (for example: properties) are widely in use 
and in fact a whole lot of other standards and tools rely on the 
property accessor naming convention.

Kind regards
