I didn't get a resolution from the other bug post.  
I create a Jframe, start to add afew swing controls, i'll compile the one time the system allows it per program (not sure if this is the case for anyone else) and i'll get maybe the first 2 of the swing controls on the GUI Run...

I'll go back, add some more, move some around... and i'll just keep getting the same exact GUI as the first time.  F9 and Shift+F6 are grayed out in the menu, all i can do is run the GUI and end up with the same Form over and over again, without any of my changes.

I refactored a few times and saved it as a new document, that refereshed SOMETIMES, but at some point, it stopped working that way too. 

I tried switching off the setting to compile on save so i could do it manually, got my F9 back, but when i'd compile, it was still the same issue.  No Refresh... Then i changed the setting to the project as well (compiler setting under run), to turn off the compile on save so they were off for both the Program & the project... Same issue... Old version of the document not displaying the changes...

not sure what to do. i'm completely new at this so it's probably something silly, but i need to figure out what it is.. =\

What exactly does this mean? what is a gui run? The action in the form designer toolbar? 
screenshot?

which menu? can you show us a screenshot? have you exited the previous invokation of the frame? maybe the new one is right behind it..

what project type? ant/maven?

what is the difference here between "Program" and "project"?
