Hi, fix is needed in the BeanInstaller class in
org.netbeans.modules.form.palette package.

It has been discussed in the nbdev mailing list( thread : [nbdev] instance file
name problem with "[" "]" characters) that the [] syntax is not
needed to create the instance file name in the BeansInstaller class, only
the class name is important in this case. This solves problems in the
OpenVMS platform where the [] is a deliminator.

The suggested fix is to change the BeanInstaller.format method so
it uses only the class path to create the instance file name - currently in
Netbeans, two types of instance file name is supported one using [] and one
using only the class path.

The following is the suggested code change in BeanInstaller.formatName method.

private static String formatName(String className) {
         String ret =  className.replace('.', '-') ;
          return ret;
      }


Thank you.
