Quoth NetBeans:

   /** This method is called from within the constructor to
     * initialize the form.
     * WARNING: Do NOT modify this code. The content of this method is
     * always regenerated by the Form Editor.
     */
    // <editor-fold defaultstate="collapsed" desc="Generated Code">
    private void initComponents() {

yadda yadda yadda, you pay convenience with limitations ;)

You are not forced to care in regards to my problem. I take any crumbs
of wisdom gladly. Anyway I mentioned it as it matters to myself, later
someone would butt in saying "but you can't edit this, what the heck" or
whatever.

To me, "automatism" like this is the point in using an IDE. I'm moslty
aware (maybe, can't know what I don't know) of the implications and
limitations, but it hasn't posed a problem yet. I'm also aware that not
everyone will be happy with something like this. Uh, talk amongst
yourselves <g>.

I think not. However, I do reference Suns tutorial, if that's what you
meant.
