TitledBorder do not have the correct properties displayed in form editor.

What happened

When editing a swing form, applying a JInternalFrame with TitledBorder generated incorrect properties. A closer look on provided properties shows that these 2 properties do not have a value assigned to them.

Trying to select the property will result an unknown error

The generated code produces null values for them instead, which is supposedly incorrect.

        jInternalFrame1 = new javax.swing.JInternalFrame();

        setDefaultCloseOperation(javax.swing.WindowConstants.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);

        jInternalFrame1.setBorder(javax.swing.BorderFactory.createTitledBorder(javax.swing.BorderFactory.createLineBorder(javax.swing.UIManager.getDefaults().getColor("Actions.Grey"), null), "asdf", null, null, new java.awt.Font("Arial Narrow", 0, 14))); // NOI18N
        jInternalFrame1.setVisible(true);

        javax.swing.GroupLayout jInternalFrame1Layout = new javax.swing.GroupLayout(jInternalFrame1.getContentPane());
        jInternalFrame1.getContentPane().setLayout(jInternalFrame1Layout);
        jInternalFrame1Layout.setHorizontalGroup(
            jInternalFrame1Layout.createParallelGroup(javax.swing.GroupLayout.Alignment.LEADING)

        javax.swing.GroupLayout layout = new javax.swing.GroupLayout(getContentPane());
        getContentPane().setLayout(layout);

                .addComponent(jInternalFrame1, javax.swing.GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE, javax.swing.GroupLayout.DEFAULT_SIZE, javax.swing.GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE)

                .addComponent(jInternalFrame1, javax.swing.GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE, javax.swing.GroupLayout.DEFAULT_SIZE, javax.swing.GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE)

        );

        pack();
    }// </editor-fold>//GEN-END:initComponents

The workaround is to edit the problematic line and add the property manually using custom code.

- jInternalFrame1.setBorder(javax.swing.BorderFactory.createTitledBorder(javax.swing.BorderFactory.createLineBorder(javax.swing.UIManager.getDefaults().getColor("Actions.Grey"), null), "asdf", null, null, new java.awt.Font("Arial Narrow", 0, 14))); // NOI18N
+ jInternalFrame1.setBorder(javax.swing.BorderFactory.createTitledBorder(javax.swing.BorderFactory.createLineBorder(javax.swing.UIManager.getDefaults().getColor("Actions.Grey"), 1), "asdf", javax.swing.border.TitledBorder.DEFAULT_JUSTIFICATION, javax.swing.border.TitledBorder.DEFAULT_POSITION, new java.awt.Font("Arial Narrow", 0, 14))); // NOI18N

Java ant project

How to reproduce

• Create a new project
• Create a new JDialog form
• Add JInternalFrame and apply the border using TitledBorder
• Try to apply titleJustification and titlePosition, both do not have any values.

Did this work correctly in an earlier version?
