Re: Value of Bean properties are updated, but the Property Sheet doesn't refresh?

Just marking something as bound in the BeanInfo doesn't actually make it so. Bound properties are properties supporting property change events. Are you using PropertyChangeSupport in your properties? Meaning are you firing property change events?

An older tutorial not using the listeners bound to a specific property name per se (has to be done with code by who ever adds the listener...in this case the NB RCP APIs should handle that):
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/javabeans/properties/bound.html

And the latest JavaDocs for PropertyChangeSupport:
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/beans/PropertyChangeSupport.html

Basically:

public class MyBean {

private PropertyChangeSupport pcs = null;

public MyBean(){
pcs = new PropertyChangeSupport(this);
}

private String name = "";

public void setName(String name){
   String old = this.name;
   this.name = name;
   pcs.firePropertyChange("name", old, name);
}

public String getName(){
   return this.name;
}



public void addPropertyChangeListener( PropertyChangeListener listener )
{
this.pcs.addPropertyChangeListener( listener );
}

public void removePropertyChangeListener( PropertyChangeListener listener )
{
this.pcs.removePropertyChangeListener( listener );
}


public void addPropertyChangeListener(String propName,  PropertyChangeListener listener )
{
this.pcs.addPropertyChangeListener(propName, listener );
}

public void removePropertyChangeListener(String propName,  PropertyChangeListener listener )
{
this.pcs.removePropertyChangeListener(propName, listener );
}

public PropertyChangeListener[] getPropertyChangeListeners(){
   return this.pcs.getPropertyChangeListeners();
}

public PropertyChangeListener[] getPropertyChangeListeners(String propName){
   return this.pcs.getPropertyChangeListeners(propName);
}


}

So, if you are not doing that you would experience problems.
