FormNode.getHandle() implements an hack to avoid restoring the original node after IDE restarts (see commens in the code, reported below) // ---------- // Persistence hacks - for the case the node is selected in some // (standalone) properties window when IDE exits. We don't restore the // original node after IDE restarts (would require to load the form), but // provide a fake node which destroys itself immediately - closing the // properties window. [Would be nice to find some better solution...] This can be avoided returning null to signal that the node is not persistable, see javadoc of Node.getHandle() (reported below): " public abstract Node.Handle getHandle() Obtain handle for this node (for serialization). The handle can be serialized and Node.Handle.getNode() used after deserialization to obtain the original node. Returns: the handle, or null if this node is not persistable "
