The primary key column of a table in database explorer is distinguished through icon of the column node, which has different color than icons for other columns. Not nice for colorblind people -> accessibility problem.
Workaround 1: hold the mouse over the column icon, it will show the tooltip. Tooltip for primary key is "Primary Key". Workaround 2: go to properties of the column node through popup menu. Primary key nodes have "Primary key" written at the bottom.
It is a common way in all database tools to distinguish primary key columns by this way. Assigning to the HIE team to propose better solution if there is any.
This issue will be addressed by different icons (or badges) for general columns and primary keys. This will be done probably along with other icons in promo-f.
TM 5.0 -> TBD
Reassigning to Jano, who works on Java EE in NetBeans.
