You were really planning to provide no motivation up front, no use cases, no
API change discussion... really? Is that also how you do API changes for your
own software?

> Open up more of APIs in Node and PropertySheet

> Key: NETBEANS-4222
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-4222
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: platform - Explorer, platform - Nodes
> Reporter: Markus Sunela
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently it is hard to customize Node, Explorer and PropertySheet behavior,
> because there are too many private instead of protected methods, package
> private and final classes in the API.
> Some examples I have stumbled on include
> * private doSetNodes method in PropertySheet (no way to override the use of
> ProxyNodes)
> * final and package private ProxyNode class
> * package private constructor in ProxyNode
> * package private getOriginalNodes method in ProxyNode
> * package private and final {color:#000000}ProxyProperty{color} class in
> ProxyNode
> * final Sheet class and its inner class Sheet.Set
> * most private methods in Sheet and Sheet.Set should be protected instead
> * PropertySupport.Reflection class should have getters for read and write
> methods
> I wonder, what is the rationale for so strict and static API design? I would
> assume the performance gains from these limitations are meager. Opening these
> classes for sub-classing and modifications would result in much more flexible
> system with much less code duplication.
