Tool Designer generates the .form and .java files for a Swing form.
It then needs the form editor to generate the Swing initialization code
into the .java file from the definition in the .form file.  In Pilsen
we used the following technique:
   1) Open the data object associated with the form
   2) Save it
   3) Close it
(See the code at the bottom).  When I moved to Orion (FFJEE build 011217)
I started getting the following exception.  It is not deterministic but
very likely (happens in about 30% of the forms processed although not 
always the same ones).
