Kind of yucky--e.g. putting ContextTreeView w/ PropertySheetView will not work, because they have different ideas of what selected vs. context nodes should be for. Also PropertyPanel should be supported nicely, somehow.
If you need a volunteer, I can help a bit.
Sure, if you like. I think we need a new template category in apisupport, "Explorer API", with a panel template (incl. .form file); and palette beans for common views and I guess also PropertyPanel, which might need some special property editors for its stuff (not clear).
Target milestone was changed from '3.4' to TBD.

Here are the Explorer API components I would find really useful to have on the palette: - BeanTreeView - OutlineView
FWIW, this would be trivial to do in an external module.
(In reply to comment #8) > FWIW, this would be trivial to do in an external module. Agreed. But with very little effort it could be a good addition to the IDE itself. It would improve usability and visibility of these very powerful components.

+1: It would be useful.
Should be easy. You could even add them manually - see http://netbeansrcp.wordpress.com/2009/04/01/adding-explorer-components-into-the-netbeans-palette/ Any volunteers?
