JDialogs with Matisse GUI (original) (raw)

Does anyone know a good method of making custom JDialog layouts with the NetBeans Matisse GUI Builder?

I've looked around for information on this, but can't really find anything. My current method is to make a class extending the JDialog, and a separate JPanel using Matisse. I then call setContentPane within the JDialog's constructor to link in the panel, creating a custom dialogue box.

This seems a bit clumsy though, does anyone have a better method?

I'm following this tutorial on the netbeans website for a simpleEE7App. I followed the instructions precisely but got an exception need help. :/…

anyone here?

It seems that you can override a concrete method and make it abstract. I actually came across some code that did this, so I had to check how it…
