When working on a non-App framework (JSR296) application the action property editor from the appframework is being used. It should be completely disabled unless the user is working on a JSR296 project. Currently there is no way to conditionally enable or disable property editors. This should be possible. In the future we will likely have more and more conditional behavior like this.
In my opinion, this should be fixed before merge to trunk.. now it's possible to create new action in non App framework thanks to Application Action editor
I created another bug for this issue http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=99833
Due to other changes, the action property editor will now show a message that says "Custom Editing of this Property is not Supported", rather than showing the App Framework action editor. While it is ugly to have a message rather than just showing one of the standard editors, this is no longer a P1. The user cannot accidentally create an appframework action in a non appframework app. I'm marking it as a P3.
I think this is no longer valid.
