As said in summary, is not possible to add generifyied component to/from pallete, because can't define data type in declaration/constructor. Suppose following JComboBox replacement: public <T> class MyComboBox<T> extends JComboBox { public MyComboBox() { super(); } public T getSelectedItem() {...} public setSelectedItem(T selection) {...} } So, since there is a lot of effot to incentive people to use generics (the 1.3 to 5.0 migration guides and so on), I think IDE should completelly support generics (not only in code editor, but Form editor too).
