Build Identifier: 20110916-0149 Windows builder is not able to parse a subclass of parent class that contains a menu with accessible items. A very simple self contained and COMPILABLE example has been included in this report. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.open MidlevelJobPanel.java 2.switch to design mode This bug is a serious issue for us and is preventing us from using WB to maintain a codebase that has been developed for over 10 years (the last several years using WindowsBuilderPro)

This is a second attempt to compile a report for this bug. The evaluator should not have any difficulty reproducing the problem because the example test case is very simple.
Reproduced using test case.
I performed some additional testing and observed the following: 1) If a menu item is exposed to the child by making the getter method public or protected, the WB parser throws an exception 2) if the getter is set to private (which of course is useless), then the exception is not thrown 3) If the getter method is removed the exception is not trhpwn 4) if the menuItem itself is changed from protected to private and the the getter method is protected or public, the exception is NOT thrown. I am now able to work around this bug with simple changes to my code so it's now a lower priority for me.
Fixed in trunk. Now we will create model only for one way (first method) of exposing same object.
