Form files in projects view

NetBeans IDE 7.3 Beta (Build 201209232010)
JDK 7u7 64-bit

At times the .form files for JPanel forms are appearing in the projects view where I would not have expected them to. When I started the IDE, only the .java files were shown. And later on I noticed that the .form files are also appearing (see screenshot). I don't know what the cause could be yet, but will keep my eye on it.
Comment 1 stefan79 2012-09-28 08:39:24 UTC 
Same problem occured at my pc.

Some additional informations:
-) this occurs at all form-files. Not only JPanel and really at all gui´s in the project.
-) Occured at the current build:

I just created a new panel in the same project shown in the screenshot, and it is displayed as it should be.

there is an exception in your log file:

Caused: java.lang.Error: java.beans.IntrospectionException: Method not found: setFixedColCount
	at Softline.awt.ColumnFixScrollPaneBeanInfo.getPropertyDescriptors(ColumnFixScrollPaneBeanInfo.java:69)
	at java.beans.Introspector.getPropertyDescriptors(Introspector.java:609)

[catch] at org.netbeans.modules.form.FormUtils.getBeanInfo(FormUtils.java:1812)

I am not sure how it relates to missing icons, but I'd rather have a reproducible case without errors.

Anyway, next time you see the duplicated form files, take a heap dump. Log file is not enough.
Comment 5 Tomas Pavek 2012-10-02 10:01:29 UTC 
It's a known problem that this is happening, but there are no good known steps to reproduce. If you see it again, please take a heap dump as suggusted by jtulach.

(The exception in the log file is unrelated to this problem and is handled well.)
