I think that the initComponents method is not very well designed. My opinion is that the steps should be more systematic
(e. g. first initialize everything, then add everything) and placed in individual methods. Especially localization
(either using ResourceBundle or ResourceMap from appframework) should be separated and take place after everything is
set. The reason is that if you wanted to change the language of the application during the run, you would have to do all
the localization steps that were already done by the generated code manually. Using the localization placed in an
individual method, say localize(), it would be no problem to relocalize the application - you would just call
Locale.setDefault(newLocale) and then localize().

Well, it sounds reasonable to me, I will discuss it with Matisse developers.
