I added the JCalendar bean component to Palette Swing, but recently I removed the path where was the .jar "D:\libs\JCalendar.jar" and now it's giving me an error one every Form that uses this Component, I tried to re- add the Bean doing the same step > Tools > Palette > Add jar, but after finish the process the error persist. I also tried to reset Palette, something that i didn't want to do because I have other beans (SwingX, Barcodebean ...), didn't work neither. Is it any config file where I can edit and correct the path of the JCalendar?

If the forms complain about the missing classes, it has nothing to do with the palette. You need the JAR on the classpath of the project (among the project libraries). So you need to fix the project configuration if you moved the JAR elsewhere. Note the JAR known to the palette is added to the project when a component is added from the palette to the form. But since then it is the project classpath that matters for the form to be able to load components from that JAR.
It is not about the project, the project contains the JAR needed, but the Design View of the IDE is what is not finding the JAR, I know this because the error thrown by the IDE is pointing to a path (D:\libs\...") where the JAR USED TO BE (when the beans components were loaded YEARS ago), while the project uses a custom library "JCalendar1.4" (which path is "C:\libs\JCalendar.jar")and many other projects also does it.
The exceptions in the attached log file: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.toedter.calendar.JDateChooser mean that this class could not be found on the project classpath when the form was loaded (for the Design view). As for "the error thrown by the IDE is pointing to a path (D:\libs\..." - I don't see anything like this in the log file. What error do you actually mean? The above exception is a typical example of missing JAR in project.
