NB5.0-RC1(200601091900), JDK 1.5.0_06 Steps to reproduce: - run IDE - create JFrame - add some border to Other Components - try to change any property of the border by Properties -> it isn't possible, property is read-only
Borders are not true beans. Their properties are really read only. That's why they have a special customizer and why are not shown in palette by default. But we could make it work (after fixing issue 71220).
