|  | == How do I hide the description area in property window | 
|  |  | 
|  | By tweaking the preferences of the "showDescriptionArea". In any layer.xml file (for example the one of branding) add | 
|  |  | 
|  | [source,java] | 
|  | ---- | 
|  |  | 
|  | <folder name="Preferences"> | 
|  | <folder name="org"> | 
|  | <folder name="openide"> | 
|  | <file name="explorer.properties" url="explorer.properties"/> | 
|  | </folder> | 
|  | </folder> | 
|  | </folder> | 
|  | ---- | 
|  |  | 
|  | and then next to your layer.xml file create the explorer.properties that contains: | 
|  |  | 
|  | [source,java] | 
|  | ---- | 
|  |  | 
|  | showDescriptionArea=false | 
|  | sortOrder=0 | 
|  | ---- | 
|  |  | 
|  | I found this by looking at the PropUtils class in the NBP sources. |
