Description Lee Doty 2001-12-12 22:40:33 UTC 
Using NB 3.3 release 

When the IDE is set to use the windows PLAF, the form editor doesn't work.
When I set the IDE to use the (default) metal PLAF, the form editor works fine.

Note: when I say "PLAF", I'm talking about the pluggable look and feel of the 
IDE, not the application being developed.

There is no exception to copy, but the dialog box that pops up talks about not 
being able to find a superclass for the object.  

I get this dialog whenever I either try to add a swing component, or edit an 
already existing swing component... not sure what happens with AWT components.
