When I copy a group of radiobuttons (all have the same buttonGroup property set) from one JFrame to another JFrame the buttonGroup property is suddenly <none> for all button copies. It would be very helpful if the corresponding ButtonGroup is copied with the buttons and the buttonGroup property is not changed in the button copies.
The Button Group property is a reference to another component - and referenced components are not automatically copied. Perhaps if the user copies the referenced component as well then the property value could be set to the copy of the component. Or maybe we could do a specific hack for button group and just copy it between forms automatically.
I tested with NetBeans-6.0beta1 and the button group is still lost.
I just tested with NetBeans-6.0RC1 and the bug is still there.
still reproducible in 6.1
I just run into the same problem in NetBeans 6.7.
