Re: help editing the Netbeans generated code: jPanel.add();

NB doesn't support just using any layout directly in the UI editor. You would have to write and add a module to get layout support in there for another layout. This is just a direct link to the fact that layout uses loosely coupled layout information. For instance, in the case of "west" "east" etc....that String could really be any value, so the IDE can't really infer anything.
