Description Jesse Glick 2001-10-05 15:49:15 UTC 
[dev oct 3] I just noticed that if you hover the mouse over e.g. "Ant
Settings", you will see "AntSettings" which is the unlocalized
classname (I guess?) of the settings. This is not good (would appear
out of place in a Japanese build, etc.). Probably InstanceNode (?)
should either use a proper shortDescription if one is available (if
there is a real bean with BeanInfo etc.) and if not, ensure that the
shortDescription is the same as the displayName so that no tooltip
appears. Look around, e.g. "Property Sheet" has tooltip
"PropertySheetSettings" but "Java Elements" has no tooltip.
Comment 1 Jan Pokorsky 2001-11-05 20:02:16 UTC

Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
