The problem was detected in NB 6.0 and 6.0.1. In short beansbinding doesn't work in NB Modules. It works perfectly well in standard java applications but not inside an NB module. I've tried in NB 6.0 and 6.0.1 and in a fresh installation of NB 6.0 in a second computer to eliminate possibility of problems with my computer installation. The apparent problem can be reproduced like this: In an NB module, create a new form by creating new Window component. Create also a simple bean with only one field, compile the class and register it as a binding source by drag and drop it inside the form. Insert a single text field from the palette, by pressing the right button over it select bind->text, chose the bean from the first combo and the field from the second. So far, so good. Unfortunately an error appears in the form's auto-generated code in the line "private org.jdesktop.beansbinding.BindingGroup bindingGroup" and the error is "package org.jdesktop.beansbinding does not exist". This line is in the protected area so I can´t correct it even if I knew how. If I do ctrl-space in front of org.jdesktop. the only member that appear is "layout" not the ones that should appear "beansbinding","swingbinding","el" or "observablecollections". Following a sugestion from a user in dev@openide.netbeans.org I've packaged beansbinding-1.2.1.jar into a library wrapper module but the problem persisted.
As mentioned on dev@openide, you also need to make a dependency from your module to the lib wrapper.
