Description Masaki Katakai 2009-06-12 15:24:19 UTC 
I tried this on 6.5.1 and 6.7 RC.

1. Create Manve appframework project
2. Prepare some custom Swing component in the same project
3. Try to drag&drop from project window to main panel
   Nothing happened, icon will not be changed to component shape.

When I use usual Java project (non Maven project), I can drop
it to the panel. If it's not compiled, error dialog is invoked.

Is it spec or not? Is there any quick workaround?
Comment 1 Milos Kleint 2009-06-12 15:53:45 UTC 
AFAIK a duplicate of another issue, a workaround is to add the component to the panel from "jar", not "project"
Comment 2 Tomas Pavek 2009-10-06 16:59:14 UTC 
Adding from JAR would help as a workaround, but not when you want to use a component within the same project.

It's not working because we are not able to handle dependencies on non-ant projects. So a maven project can't be used as
a class source by GUI builder. It's issue 118694.
