Can you e-mail us a complete test case? The code you provided would not compile as-is due to the missing pieces.

Yes. It took awhile as the code you sent was not complete (several necessary classes would not compile due to missing references).

The latest v4.0.1 build will handle this code better. It appears to have been written by hand or some tool other than Designer, so there are some limitation on how much we can do with it.

You do need to either comment out the line...

Code: Select all
//Container contentPane = mainFrame.getContentPane();

...or hide it...
Code: Select all
Container contentPane = mainFrame.getContentPane(); //$hide$

That line doesn't seem to do anything in any case, and the multiple content panes defined (this line plus the following setContentPane() line) cause problems for the Designer parser.
