Description

I tried to improve beanviewers by using annotations in the class displayed but unfortunately this is not possible currently.
For editing, BeanEditContext is available, while for viewing only PropertyOutputContext provides metadata about the object being edited. A BeanDisplayContext would be a great addition for accessing the class being edited and retrieve annotations for instance.
