Description tprochazka 2008-02-27 15:12:22 UTC

I think that Bean Binding support in Matiss is very uncomfortable. I must still open some dialog and find something 
again and again.

My idea is make "Bind" dialog as standard dockable window like Palette or Properties. Then I only click to some 
component and then click to Bind window. After it I select another component and click again into Bind dialog.

Bind will be remember last used values for new component which hasn't set any binding data.

I make small suggestion image (see attached image).

Also will be great select multiple component and set common settings (also in Advanced tab)

Problem BeanBindig support is also that it insert all code to initComponents(). Will be much better use separate method 
initBindigs() for it. If this method will be editable directly (no blocked code) it will be very great also.
