Description ytn01 2011-12-07 23:42:45 UTC

The Swing Bean Form creation wizard currently creates/generates bean classes whether the user specified super-class for bean exists(is found) or not.
Where if the specified super-class doesn't exist, bean's form cannot be opened for editing.

I personally recommend the wizard notify the user (prior to generating bean's class & form) when the specified super-class for bean doesn't exist on the project context.

This will give the user to correct the input (in case of mistakes) or proceed intentionally.
