More information on this. When I open the .java file in a text editor, the editor-fold lines have extra information
// <editor-fold defaultstate="collapsed" desc="Generated Code">//GEN-BEGIN:initComponents and } // </editor-fold>//GEN-END:initComponents But these don't appear when I look at the file in NetBeans. I've done the same for a very simple project which I started from scratch and the same happens. Is the editor performing some sort of censorship on auto-generated comments? It doesn't make looking for problems any easier. Or is it a bug, in which case I'll report it? But I still can't develop my project until I can sort this. I'm attaching the error that I get in case it helps. Does anyone know exactly what the GUI editor is looking for, so that I can edit the file to satisfy it? Various attempts by me to try that have all failed. ------------------------- Tuesday, October 22, 2019, 11:55:09 AM, you wrote: Another issue moving from NB 8 to 11.1 I moved a Java with Ant project from NB version 8 to 11.1, and everything seemed fine until I decided to modify a form within the project. I got an error message saying that the GUI builder couldn't find the generated code. The message directed me to the wiki page http://wiki.netbeans.org/FormGuardedBlockError which describes the issue, but the generated code sections of my project seem OK - I reproduce them below. These are identical to code generated on a new project which of course doesn't give the error. // <editor-fold defaultstate="collapsed" desc="Generated Code"> private void initComponents() { ... add(pnlButtons, java.awt.BorderLayout.NORTH); ?? } // </editor-fold> // Variables declaration - do not modify private javax.swing.ButtonGroup bgColours; ... private javax.swing.JRadioButton rbtTemp; // End of variables declaration ?? Any ideas on how I can recover from this, as the code looks fine? Regards, Peter mailto:netbe...@ptoye.com www.ptoye.com
