I believe that the JGoodies looks and JGoodies 
forms should be incorporated into the NB3.6 IDE. 
Everything I have read, including user feedback 
by folks who have used it comes back with great 
praise. Please, please, please ADD it to the UI 
editor!

However this may change in the future, now we do not support other
than standard JDK layout managers. Anyway, the value of the GUI tool
should not be in that how many layout managers it supports, but rather
how it supports the visual design - i.e. the quality of layout
integration. We have things to improve, but I'm not sure if JGoodies
forms is the way to go.
