Description misterm 2009-01-28 18:29:29 UTC 
If a custom component throws a checked exception in its constructor, there is no way to change initComponents() 
signature in order to declare it.
Comment 1 Tomas Pavek 2009-01-29 18:03:01 UTC 
True, this is not supported. A known design limitation, would be nice to implement.

There is a workaround - obvious, but requires to write code by hand. E.g. instantiate the component in code before
calling initComponents() and handle the exception the way you want. Assign the component to a field. Then in the GUI
builder specify "Custom Creation Code" for the component - use the field where you assigned the component.
