The new Options view is easier to use and follows UI standards while maintaining the older style for backward compatibility. The UML modules in NetBeans 5.5 use the older style of Options. For NetBeans 6 we plan to evaluate to possibility of moving all the options for the UML modules to the new Options view. To fit into the new Options view, new options panels will have to be added to the UML modules.
advanced options have been converted to basic views. Still need to purge the advanced options.
advanced options no longer accessible. The framework is still in place, I only commented out the layer file entries that instantiates the root node of these preference accessors.
verified in netbeans-hudson-trunk-457-full.zip (070608). Advanced options are not accessible in NB any more. All planned options are moved to redesigned basic part. all related issues will be filed separately.
