I was hoping this would make the cut for NB 15.
Is there a problem with the PR? Lack of resources? Lack of Interest? The
problem the PR addresses isn't important? Poor presentation?

This PR introduces a property "PROP_RELOADING" with property change
events. The PR has been reviewed and polished; a problem is that the
event is not currently used in the codebase. I've been using it for
weeks with an editor plugin for caret position preservation. I'd like
to use it permanently, and experiment with using text context to
improve post modifiction accuracy for Postions and Carets; but until
it becomes part of NetBeans I can't invest time in it.
The events could be used internally by NetBeans, for example editor
lib 2 EditorCaret handling repositioning multiple carets; or it that
doesn't seem appropriate, then by EditorKit's; or even as a specific
plugin.
I was wondering about marking the property as "devel" to start with,
but I haven't seen properties for property change events documented in
arch.xml.
Background. When tracking down an issue with a plugin, I discovered
CloneableEditorSupport.createPositionRef (which solved my problem); I
saw how CES worked to make an effort to preserve swing.textPosition
when there is a document reload (it preserves line/col rather than
document offset). For carets, it preserves document offset; which
doesn't feel as good. In addition, Multiple cursors were introduced
and that is not considered; it can't since platform can not depend on
ide.
