initComponents() method "modifier private" not allowed here, netbeans 8.1 using swing components. The generated code becomes invalid in the initComponents() method. The ide presents an error that does not allow for  the private access modifier, this is the initComponents() method that the class constructor calls to display a jFrame and all of it's components.
