Description brettryan 2009-04-24 05:50:28 UTC
Read-only properties like UIClassID or "Item Count" (JComboBox) should be grouped in a sub-group called "Read-Only", or
better yet not shown at all.

The current implementation is as designed e.g. this issue is not a defect => changing to enhancement. In some future 
release we can consider hiding (or adding the possibility to hide) read-only properties. I personally don't like the 
creation of a special Read-Only group/category. IMHO it would make search for the properties more difficult.
Comment 3 brettryan 2009-04-24 07:55:07 UTC
No problems, an option to hide read-only properties would be perfect.

Sorry for the duplicate and I did actually select ENHANCEMENT, something funny happened and I got an error page asking
me to press the back button and check my values and resubit.

Attached patch is a suggested implementation, I apologize in advance if I've done anything bad/wrong here, this is the
first time I've ever looked at NetBeans source let alone touched the source code.

This implementation works as expected and includes a suggested implementation for #163539 [1].
