Look under Tools->Options->Modules->Java->Bean Patterns You can read the long description for this module by clicking the ... button for long description. A string editor comes up with the entire long description on one line, with a horizontal scroll bar. The text in this dialog box should wrap.
Hmm, not by default I think. For editable properties, internal newlines may be significant and you would not want to make it more confusing using linewrapping. Perhaps there should be a property editor hint to use autowrap (word-style I guess) when displaying, off by default, and this type of node could set the hint on properties for which it might be needed.
Changed to enhancement.
Target milestone -> 3.3
Target milestone -> 3.3.1.
I agree with Jesse that this line wrapping could be useable on some places but not by default. Solve it by property hint is solution. Could somebody from openide look on this ?
Set target milestone to TBD
Yes, I agree with Jesse's suggestion, implementation will be done something like that. Passing to UI group to identify places where currently word wrap is needed, as now I know only about module description, but I expect there are more places where word wrap could be enabled.
