Netbeans GUI editor problems

Question

Hey guys.

Im making a portion of my app using the netbeans gui editor.

Great so far. However ive added a new checkbox - and when i load the panel in my app the text attribute isnt shown...its just blank as if i have no caption on it... all the other ones display - so this is very annoying. It kind of seems that I have hit the limit on gui items or something, becasue any new items I add I cannot seem then, If i add new labels they dont show either :S!

The other problems Im having are that the size of the window im editting appears to be fixed - every time i change it, it jumps back to the same size - how do i stop this from happening?

Cheers

Andy

Do a "Clean and Build" on your project and run it again. I've had the same problem. The GUI builder in NetBeans stores the text for your components in a properties file. New properties don't seem to be loaded properly when you just run the project in the IDE until you do a fresh build.
