WB Generated Report

I have tried to open a Swing GUI form created with the 
Netbeans Matisse GUI Builder in the designer view and 
Windows Builder fails.

The actual form class extends another abstract class named 
FormPanel(which contains common logic for other classes as well) 
that actually extends the javax.swing.JPanel class.

Is this a bug or a limitation of the Reverse Engineering
functionality(actual code is included in the attached report)?

In any case, is there any workaround I can use?
Maybe its a problem that the parent base class is abstract?

No idea. The code you provided was not complete and would not compile on our end. If you would like us to look at this, please provide a small, complete, self-contained example that we can look at on our end.

Hello Eric,
Thanks for the fast response and excuse my late reply but I'm quite busy doing other things. I will try and create a standalone compilable test
case for you to try out, within this week I hope.
Regards,
