Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 20080521223628) Java: 1.6.0_10-beta; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 11.0-b11 System: Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86; Cp1252; en_GB (nb) Description: ============ properties of string type like Display Name Code, Short Description Code etc. could be automatically inserted with quotation marks from designer into code. Now user has to write string property together with then to avoid compilation errors.
The reason you have to type quotations is that the field accepts whatever java expression not just plain text. But I agree there should be better customizer. Something like in the form module where are plain text/resource bundle/custom code customizers.
