Description gugrim 2013-08-06 15:53:08 UTC 
After upgrading JDK 1.7.0 from update 21 to update 25 my GUI beans no longer detect when they are in design time. The method Beans.isDesignTime used to return true but now it returns false.
Comment 1 Tomas Pavek 2013-08-06 17:52:18 UTC 
Beans started to use ThreadGroupContext in Java 7 (not sure when exactly). We call Beans.setDesignTime(true) during IDE startup. Perhaps the ThreadGroupContext is different here for whatever reason than later when calling the beans (in EDT thread).

Integrated into 'main-silver', will be available in build *201308090746* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress)

Log: #234032: don't call Beans.setDesignTime in form module restore, might be in a different ThreadGroupContext
Comment 4 Michel Graciano 2014-04-24 14:19:10 UTC 
For the record, looks like the cause is related in the comment 5 [1] of issue 127935.
