For starters, this question is not so much about programming in the NetBeans IDE as developing a NetBeans project (e.g. using the NetBeans Platform framework).
I am attempting to use the BeanUtils library to introspect my domain models and provide the properties to display in a property sheet. Sample code:
public class MyNode extends AbstractNode implements PropertyChangeListener {
private static final PropertyUtilsBean bean = new PropertyUtilsBean();
// snip
protected Sheet createSheet() {
Sheet sheet = Sheet.createDefault();
Sheet.Set set = Sheet.createPropertiesSet();
APIObject obj = getLookup().lookup (APIObject.class);
PropertyDescriptor[] descriptors = bean.getPropertyDescriptors(obj);
for (PropertyDescriptor d : descriptors) {
Method readMethod = d.getReadMethod();
Method writeMethod = d.getWriteMethod();
Class valueType = d.getClass();
Property p = new PropertySupport.Reflection(obj, valueType, readMethod, writeMethod);
set.put(p);
}
sheet.put(set);
return sheet;
}
I have created a wrapper module around commons-beanutils-1.8.3.jar, and added a dependency on the module in my module containing the above code. Everything compiles fine. When I attempt to run the program and open the property sheet view (i.e.. the above code actually gets run), I get the following error:

I understand that beanutils is using the commons-logging component (wish it mentioned that in the javadoc, but that's OK). I have tried adding the commons-logging component in two different ways (creating a wrapper library around the commons-logging library, and putting a dependency on the Commons Logging Integration library).
Neither solves the problem.
Has anyone successfully used BeanUtils in a NetBeans Platform project?
