Hi

New to java, but seasoned in other languages like C++.  Anyway, first time 
using Netbeans for java.

When using the gui designer to place a text component in a dialog, I get a 
default "JTextField1" name for it from the gui designer.  so far, so good. 
But when I rename it to something else like "Username" in the "name" field, 
the change is not made in the source.  However, when I right click the 
JTextField component and do "change variable name", it changes the source 
code *and* name field correctly.  Is this a bug in the IDE or am I 
misinterpreting the use of the "name" field in the properties box?

No big deal ... I just need to use the right-click method to change the 
name, but I would like to verify this behavior is not just my install of it, 
or anything else I might be overlooking about the behavior of the gui 
developer.  TIA
