mflydahl opened a new issue, #6989:
URL: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/issues/6989
### Apache NetBeans version
Apache NetBeans 20
### What happened
When opening a project in the designer with generated code from an old
NetBeans-version, the designer will automatically change path to enums with the
actual plain text value from the enum. This means that future updates in the
enum will not be likewise updated in the swing component.
I've seen this behavior in setText() and setToolTipText(). See reproduction
details.
### Language / Project Type / NetBeans Component
_No response_
### How to reproduce
1. Open class, which contains the following generated code (or equivalent):
`avtaleKnapp.setText(ProgramEnum.AVTALEVEDL.getDescription());
avtaleKnapp.setToolTipText(ProgramEnum.AVTALEVEDL.getTooltip());
`
2. Save the class again, and the enum reference has been replaced with the
string value from the enum:
`
avtaleKnapp.setText("Agreement");
avtaleKnapp.setToolTipText("Agreement");
`
### Did this work correctly in an earlier version?
Apache NetBeans 16 or earlier
### Operating System
Ubuntu 20.04
### JDK
11
### Apache NetBeans packaging
Apache NetBeans Snap Package
### Anything else
Probably everytime, but I have not been able to try more than once. This
happened when opening an old project in the designer to remove deprecations.
Didn't notice that the enum references had been replaced with the plain text
value until I created a pull request.
