Hello, In the help, article "Adding a Bean to the Palette Window", it is specified : "If you alter a JavaBeans component that is used in a form, those changes are not automatically reflected in the GUI Builder. To apply any changes you have made to a component and cause them to appear in the form, recompile the component. Then reload the form by pressing Ctrl-Shift-R in the GUI Builder or the Source Editor." It does not work at me. In package data.business.obj, there is a bean Toto.java. In package gui, there is a frame Frame1.java, that uses Toto as a component (toto1). After updating Toto.java, such as adding a property, Toto.java is compiled. I reload Frame (Ctr + Shift +R). In the properties of the toto1 component, changes are not reflected !
I have to restart netbeans to have my changes reflected in the frame1's component.

Compiling does nothing, the ony way for me to update the component poperties in the IDE, is to use the refactor - rename on the class of the component. Then I rename it back to its original name.
