It is nearly impossible to use the BeanInfo editor to generate an internationalized BeanInfo class - it hard-codes strings for all of the descriptions. It should offer the option of automatically generating a bundle (including generating keys) or adding them to an existing bundle. This would make it much more useful - as it is, you have to generate the BeanInfo and then manually remove the //GEN-BEGIN, etc. comments and hand edit it to use bundles.
Changing to defect after consulation with nb QA and comments from nb strategy that some i18n rfes could actually be viewed as defects. We think this one is more like a defect so am changing it to that. Let me know if more details are needed. ken.frank@sun.com
Consistent use of the I18N keyword.
I do not agree this is a defect; the user *is* able to produce I18Ned beaninfo - by using e.g. bundle.getString("") instead of plain "". What you are asking for is rather a quite large feature/rewrite than a bugfix.
