The properties module does various editing with "customizers" on the properties nodes in the filesystems view. This information is generally redundant with what can be done in the editor and in the properties window. The one exception to this is that one can create new locales in the customizers, but not elsewhere. This actually should be doable in the editor, in any case. That is: remove the "customize" contextual menu items and their associated dialogs, and add the ability to add locales from the editor. See related issue (about the overall goal to remove the notion of customizers) at http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=37943
Accepted. I agree with the arguments. Moreover, I plan not to bundle multiple properties file in a single object (node) - see issue #48263 so the last remaining need for a customizer would be eliminated.
