Description theskad 2008-10-07 09:57:23 UTC 
As for 6.5, there is no way how could one plug-in custom Swing Layout to GUI builder -- form project has no public API,
registration mechanism is, well, missing.

Following packages "feels-like" fine API:
org.netbeans.modules.form.codestructure 
org.netbeans.modules.form.layoutsupport 

For registering own layouts also LayoutSupportRegistry has to be changed (now it's all hard coded).
