There is some rudimentary support for adding new layouts to it, but that is about it. You can of course use JavaBeans in it. For the rest, Matisse was never designed to be a UI designer framework, and has no support for such things. It isn't designed that way at all. It is basically what it is. We've had discussions on the list before. Some have looked at taking it and making a new project. The best way would be to convert all the codename bases and packages to a different one and start changing the code since it isn't an extensible API. Maybe you could start a project to break it up into modular pieces and make it more of that kind of an API. You might even look into the Visual API for ways to do some of the things you want from the ground up.
