1. Open NB and create new java project (name it "SimpleProject", if possible)

2. Copy attached code to SimpleProject.java

3. Right click SimpleProject.java > BeanInfo Editor... > Confirm dialog

4. Open both files as shown on "00 default.png"

-------------------------

5. Make some modifies in Properties as shown on "00 default.png" vs. "01 first modify.png"

6. Make some over modifies as shown on "02 switch to method.png" vs. "03 second modify.png"

Note, that SimpleProjectBeanInfo.java was changed so caption of this class is bold

7. Switch to another class (see "04 swtch to another class.png")

8. Switch back (see "05 swtch back.png")

Now, let's observe previous modifies

9. Observe first modify (see "06 observe first modify.png")

10. Observe second modify (see "07 observe second modify.png")

>> changes have been discarded (compare "01 first modify.png" and "06 observe first modify.png", 03 second modify.png" and "07 observe second modify.png")
