The tool for adding new bean properties is excellent. Especially the support for adding bound properties with property change support. There's one little problem, however. The tool doesn't seem to examine if the class has inherited a firePropertyChange() method. The tool blindly adds a propertyChangeSupport object and associated addPropertyChangeListener() and removePropertyChangeListener() methods. Well not entirely blindly, it doesn't add them if they're already overridden. Overriding firePropertyChange() this way creates two PropertyChangeSupport objects. Having two PropertyChangeSupport objects is a problem because the inherited properties fire on the inherited firePropertyChange() and its private propertyChangeSupport object while the new properties fire on the overridden firePropertyChange() method and its private propertyChangeSupport object. Looking at the gui, I would have supposed that checking the "Bound" checkbox without the "Generate Property Change Support" checkbox would cause the tool to use the inherited firePropertyChange() rather than a private one. That does not occur, however. The "Bound" checkbox doesn't appear to do anything.
Resolving all issues with milestone "future" as LATER. If you feel strongly that it should be implemented please reopen and set the target milestone to "next".
