Change the variables section of the AWTForms and GUIForms templates from this:

    // Variables declaration - do not modify//GEN-BEGIN:variables
    // End of variables declaration//GEN-END:variables

to this:

    // Variables declaration - do not modify//<editor-fold defaultstate="collapsed" desc="Generated
Variables">//GEN-BEGIN:variables
    // End of variables declaration//</editor-fold>//GEN-END:variables


This will make the protected variables declaration collapse the same way as the initComponents section currently does.
This provides a more consistent presentation for the user as well as conserving screen real estate.
