IIRC swing-layout was a separate library required in the early days of
the Netbeans free form GUI editor. Eventually, Java included the code in
the standard jdk. Although it did the same thing, it did it in a
slightly different and not fully compatible way. I'm not certain but I
think I had to just rebuild any of the old forms under the jdk version.

Re: GUI builder cannot find generated code Dear Paul,
You can probably delete the swing library - the original program used it.
The project platform is JDK12 which is what I've got installed. You
can probably downgrade it to 11 without problems, as I don 't use any
Java features that aren't in version 8.
How is one to send an entire project without zipping? I'm on Windows
and don't have tar.
Best regards,
Peter

I just did that and two issues popped up right away:
Problem: The project uses a class library called "swing-layout", but
this class library was not found.
Solution: Click Resolve to open the Library Manager and create a new
class library called "swing-layout".
The active project platform is an older version than it's required by
project source/binary format.
I'm using NetBeans 11.1 with AdoptOpen JDK 11
So I don't even get as far as you.
FYI: I'm pretty sure Geertjan said no zips please.

Dear Geertjan,
I'm not sure what you mean by a "Stack trace" - there's no dump
available as it didn't crash..
Here's as small an example as I can manage.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open TestFormBug in NB 11.1 (I'm on Windows - don't know if the OS
is relevant).
2. If not already open, in package com.ptoye.testFormBug, open
OuterPane.Java.
3. Click on "Design" tab
4. You should get an error message saying the file is corrupt. If you
don't, your system is different from mine.
Best regards,

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.

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?

Peter
