Is it really correct that there's no splitter painted for SplittedPane? E.g. in ComponentInspector or in Debugger Window, there are views that can be resized by mouse, but as no splitter is visible, it looks like no resizing is possible. I guess this was done as part of reducing border overuse in NetBeans (that's quite positive), but in this case ... [since org/openide/awt/SplittedPanel.java rev 1.27 ?]
Correct, it was to reduce borders - if you have a component that has a border, the splitter should not be drawn. I can imagine that causing a problem for components that do not draw any borders. I'm most of the way through fixing this, including adding the drag texture to the component if the L&F is metal. It will be sensitive to whether either of the contained components draws a border, and if so it will not draw its border.
This has been fixed for a few weeks now, but I forgot to mark it as such. Note the drag texture can also now be drawn if you turn on "nb.SplittedPanel.drawBumps" in the theme (it will only do it for Metal look and feel - for other look and feels it will simply draw a raised border). Long term, SplittedPanel should be deprecated - it doesn't do anything exciting that a JSplitPane can't do.
Tim is right, it was already fixed. Verified in [nb_dev](20030224)
