This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Several UI components in core parse an input string and if an ampersand is found, the following character is used as a mnemonic. But this is not always documented. See the examples below (not a complete list!). Examples: - Both constructors of class org.openide.NotifyDescriptor accept parameter 'text' that may contain '&' for specification of mnemonic character. - One of constructors of org.openide.DialogDescriptor accepts parameter 'Object[] options'. Each option can be a String with '&' inserted for specification of a mnemonic character. - Documentation for method org.openide.awt.Actions.setMenuText(...) mentions usage of '&' but it is not clear enough.
not a bug -> TASK/P2
Set target milestone to TBD
Not crucial documentation, I guess. As time permits.
