/**
 * Keeps two Java Bean properties in synch. This connector supports bound and
 * unbound, read-only and read-write properties. Write-only properties are
 * not supported; connecting two read-only properties won't work;
 * connecting two unbound properties doesn't make sense.<p>
 *
 * If one of the bean properties fires a property change, this connector
 * will set the other to the same value. If a bean property is read-only,
 * the PropertyConnector will not listen to the other bean's property and so
 * won't update the read-only property. And if a bean does not provide support
 * for bound properties, it won't be observed.
 * The properties must be single value bean properties as described by the
 * <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/javabeans/docs/spec.html">Java
 * Bean Secification</a>.<p>
 *
 * <strong>Constraints:</strong> the properties must be type compatible,
 * i. e. values returned by one reader must be accepted by the other's writer,
 * and vice versa.<p>
 *
 * <strong>Examples:</strong>
 * Note that the following examples are for demonstration purposes.
 * The classes {@link BasicComponentFactory} and {@link Bindings}
 * provide predefined connections for formatted text fields and combo boxes.
 *
 * <pre>
 * // Connects a ValueModel and a JFormattedTextField
 * JFormattedTextField textField = new JFormattedTextField();
 * textField.setEditable(editable);
 * PropertyConnector connector =
 *     PropertyConnector.connectAndUpdate(valueModel, "value", textField, "value");
 *
 * // Connects the boolean property "selectable" with a component enablement
 * JComboBox comboBox = new JComboBox();
 * ...
 * PropertyConnector.connect(mainModel, "selectable", comboBox, "enabled");
 * </pre>
