[dev-200503281924, JDK 1.5.0_02] I created simple form with one button and one JList. I created class MyJListModel extending DefaultListModel and set it in post-initialization code in JList model editor. After closing the editor there is no indication that the value is already set - the model is in bold font, but value is blank. I think that there used to be something like <user code>.
Pre/post-initialization code property should be used to modify the source code before and after the generated code that sets the value of the property. If you want to modify the code that sets the value of the property, you should do it through Form Connection mode of the custom property editor (click on the ... button in the property sheet and select Form Connection from the Select Mode combobox). In other words - the displayed value was blank because you didn't change the value of the (JavaBean) property. <user code> would be displayed if you entered your code into User Code text area in the Form Connection mode.
Closing.
