title: when setting netbeans label text to static String, UI designer does not display it
body: <p>I am trying to set the contents of a label's text to a static String but the UI designer does not display it when I do this.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Open file in edit mode.</li>
  <li>create public final static String SOME_VALUE = "my label";</li>
  <li>switch to design mode</li>
  <li>examine a component's properties, and click the labelText property.</li>
  <li>change to custom code, and enter the variable (SOME_VALUE)</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>the code runs properly, but when you view it in design mode, it is shown as "label text" instead of my static string.  This makes designing problematic when looking at long strings, as the sizing is off.</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone found a way to make this work?</p>
