1) Create a JFrame with a JLabel.
2) Externalize strings.
3) Change the "Variable" property of the JLabel using the Properties sheet.
4) Click the ellipsis icon "..." of the "text" property of the JLabel.
--> BUG: The key value of the externalized string has not been updated with the JLabel's new variable name.

Is there some setting I have failed to set to cause i18n syncing?
Or is this a bug?
Or does WindowBuilder have this syncing as a feature? (That would be most unfortunate.)

JFormDesigner does this syncing well.

I would not call this a "bug" at all. At best, it is a feature that we (or you) could add in the future.

The keys that WB generates are initialized originally from the variable names but you can change them to anything you want (they are editable). Keeping those keys in sync with changing variable names was never a requirement and, in fact, you are the first person to ask for this.

Please submit a feature request to Bugzilla (Tools >WindowBuilder), and we will consider adding that as an option in the future.
