Copy and Paste JPanel custom component Netbeans 5.5

Hi,

I am suddenly getting 'errors occurred in loading the form data ... ' error
message when i load a form. This error is then followed by 'error in loading
component'  for each instance of a custom component - The form contains a
couple of custom JPanel components that reside in the same package (I used
the feature to copy from the component in project explorer and paste onto
the form - which did work very nicely). 

Anyway, I tried creating a new form and tried to add one of the custom
components to it: the copy/paste method described above just does nothing. 
And i tried adding the jar to the Palette but the wizard just says 'the
selected JAR archive does not contain any JavaBeans components.'  I can't
see anything wrong with these components and they both compile fine.


The only thing I can think of is by recreating each custom component and
then the form - which is quite a lot of work.  

Any suggestions gratefully welcome.


(btw the project successfully compiles and is up-to date before i tried
this).

Regards,
Rich.
