JDK 11	JDK 17	JDK 21
11.0.26-oracleFixed	17.0.14-oracleFixed	21 b26Fixed

ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
Windows 11, using NetBeans, JDK 19

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Please refer to https://github.com/apache/netbeans/issues/5774 for the original post, where I was advised to report this against OpenJDK

Attachments can be found in the above GitHub issue.

When creating a BeanInfo using netbeans, in the getBdescriptor() method, we can set the value "containerDelegate" using the following line of code to delegate to another container.

beanDescriptor.setValue("containerDelegate", "getInnerPanel");
These examples work with all previous JDK versions, except for JDK 19
I also tested JDK 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 and they all work fine.

REGRESSION : Last worked in version 17.0.6

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Having NetBeans installed, any version, 17 as reference.

Using the Dummy Projects ( From GitHub issue mentioned above)

With any new JPanel, or using MainPanel:

Drag or add a SectionPanel instance to MainPanel
Then add any other widget (i.e. JLabel) from the palette in the SectionPanel instance


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
SectionPanel should be recognized as a Container, therefore the widget should get added into the SectionPanel instance
ACTUAL -
SectionPanel is not recognized as a Container, and no other widget can be added to it when using the widgets palette in NetBeans

After integration of the JEP 256 we have two code paths to select the read/write methods for the property. The code path used by the Introspector via PropertyDescriptor(Entry<String,PropertyInfo> entry) can handle overridden getters, but the code path in PropertyDescriptor(String propertyName, Class<?> beanClass, String readMethodName, String writeMethodName) always select the first method.
26-05-2023
The bug can be reproduced by the next small code when the property descriptor is created w/o usage of Introspector new PropertyDescriptor("UI", JPanel.class, "getUI", "setUI"); Introspector works fine. BeanInfo beanInfo = Introspector.getBeanInfo(JPanel.class); PropertyDescriptor[] propertyDescriptors = beanInfo.getPropertyDescriptors(); for (PropertyDescriptor pd : propertyDescriptors) { Class<?> propertyType = pd.getPropertyType(); if (propertyType !=null && propertyType.toString().contains("UI")) { System.out.println("pd = " + pd); } }
26-05-2023
It should not be important how we sort the methods in the code changed by the JDK-8280132, but instead, we should select the "correct" method later from that list, the fix should be similar to https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8196373 but this time for getters.
25-05-2023
The order of methods was changed in JDK-8280132, which led to this issue. https://github.com/apache/netbeans/issues/5774#issuecomment-1507539540
