1. Create Java EE 5 Web Application with "Visual Web JSF" framework. 2. Add Text Field component. 3. Try to resize it. Result: Component is not resizable. The same with some other components: Text Area, Drop Down List, List Box. Probably it happens with all components that are inherited from text field.
This is not a bug. This is a functional change. Please use the property sheet settings for column to change the width of the component and style for size. Here's the release note blurb: http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=95022 Description: Due to a change in Woodstock components, resize handles have been removed from the following Woodstock components: TextField, TextArea,PasswordField, DropDown and ListBox. This issue impacts especially projects imported from Java Studio Creator and NetBeans Visual Web Pack 5.5/5.5.1. Resized components may look different from how they looked in previous releases. Workaround: For TextField and TextArea components, use the columns and rows attributes, respectively. DropDown and ListBox components are automatically resized to the size of the longest item by the browser. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 95022 ***
