These tooltips are mostly confusing, mainly when showing IDE internal types and for most of the users don't have any value.
Jirka, I don't think so. I have worked with form long .. long time and know that it's very useful to know which type of property you are going to edit ! IMHO: It works that way long, long time (from 3.0 I think and nobody has been report its like issue, but people report if for short time it didn't work - I don't know number of issue). So I vote for closing as WONTFIX, or do you have this "new cool feature" in some UI spec for 3.4 ?
I agree, that's OK for Form editor (component inspector), but probably just for Form editor. In the future, there should be API, which will allows to each node decide, if the tooltip is displayed or not. I'm going to open this issue on nbui, keep it still open please.
Hmm, you are right. Maybe it's needless information for properties of some nodes, but I don't think that "tooltip confuse users". But I agree with disabling tooltips of some property types (especially for internal types), but not for all. Not only Form Editor, Bean Customizer too.
IMHO: tooltips aren't in competition of property editors, reassigne to openide/explorer
I think this was fixed a few months ago? Displaying class names is useless for most properties and an I18N violation. IMHO the Form Editor can change the Node.Property tooltip for properties it creates to include the class name, if it wants to (this requires no API change); the property sheet should never produce a tooltip for the value half of a property.
I still see it in a dev build from 5/16.
fixed; class name from tooltip was removed, by discussion (at http://www.netbeans.org/servlets/ReadMsg?msgId=336335&listName=nbui) was replace with property value.
verified in [nb_dev](20020627)
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
