Original status: 5-Cause Known Reported on 2004-10-04: Per forum thread http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5048649 The project navigator shows bean properties for classes in the project even if they are not true java beans. The same properties are not available for binding to page elements however. It would be more appropriate to gray out bean properties in POJOs (no default constructor) so you're not wondering why the "bean's" properties only show up in the navigator and not the binding dialog. Not a biggie, just a suggestion. markdey wrote on 2005-08-12: The class view in the project navigator is showing bean patterns. If a getter and setter exists in a java file, it qualifies as a bean pattern and is therefore identified as such. We would need some other way to identify bindable properties, but that would involve changing the basic NetBeans class view UI only for us.
