Description citibob 2008-02-16 04:58:27 UTC 
Suppose I've subclassed a Swing widget (say, JPanel) to make my own widget (say, MyJPanel).  Now I want to use MyJpanel
in the GUI builder.  Here is the standard documented way to do it:
 1. Make sure things are compiled.
 2. Go to MyJPanel in the Projects window, select it, and hit Ctrl-C
 3. Go to the GUI builder window and hit Ctrl-V
The result is that an instance of MyJPanel is created in the form being built.

This works fine on standard Ant projects.  However, when using Maven projects (using the standard MevenIDE plugin), it
does not work.  The only way to use custom widgets in the GUI builder is to first load them into a palette (ugh).
