Re: Disable area description in property window

Yes, but by tweaking the preferences of the "showDescriptionArea". In any
layer.xml file (for example the one of branding) add

    <folder name="Preferences">
        <folder name="org">
            <folder name="openide">
                <file name="explorer.properties" url="explorer.properties"/>
            </folder>
        </folder>
    </folder>

and then next to your layer.xml file create the explorer.properties that
contains:

showDescriptionArea=false
sortOrder=0

I found this by looking at the PropUtils class in the NBP sources.


Additionaly, you can customize your properties by using the setValue method.

http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/javadoc/org-openide-explorer/org/openide/explorer/doc-files/propertyViewCustomization.html

Example:

PropertySupport.ReadOnly<String> javaVersionProperty = new
PropertySupport.ReadOnly<String>(RuntimeProxyBean.PROP_VMVERSION,
String.class, "JVM version", "Java VM version") {

            @Override
            public String getValue() throws IllegalAccessException,
InvocationTargetException {
                return runtimeProxyBean.getVmVersion();
            }
        };

javaVersionProperty.setValue("suppressCustomEditor", true);
