Description kitfox 2009-06-25 01:34:09 UTC 
The Editor window's 'Insert Code.../Add Property' at the moment does not check to see if class it is modifying extends a
class which already has a PropertyChangeSupport field.  If so, it would be useful to reuse this existing property
support instead of creating a new one in the subclass.
Comment 1 Max Sauer 2009-09-24 09:31:21 UTC 
This is a good idea. Implementation is however non-trivial, targeting next release.
Comment 2 kitfox 2009-10-06 00:13:14 UTC 
Another thing you may want to do is make the generated PropertyChangeSupport protected instead of private.
