I have modified .form file offline replacing all occurences of "JTextField" by "ValidatingTextField" occurences. Then as I started the IDE I got series of exceptions (netbeans.debug.exception=true). The result is as I would expected (cool) but I do not expected the exceptions.
Created attachment 1447 [details] NPE
Created attachment 1448 [details] NPE
Created attachment 1449 [details] Subsequent NotSuchMethodErrorExceptions inspite of it exists!
The form can not be edited in visual way anymore. I have to use component Inspector.
My fault the class file is required to be mounted. The notification should give this hint.
Yes, the bean instantiation failure is not handled correctly.

Target milestone -> 3.3.1.
Reporting of errors in forms loading was improved; this should be fixed now.
verified in [nb_dev](20020322)
Resolved for 3.3.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
