Create a new JPanel.
Set the layout to BoxLayout(X_AXIS).
Save and close the file; reopen it.
The layout in the Properties view is "null".
IDE displays error: "layout: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException(Currently "this" 
is not supported)"

Generated code (which I think is legal):
  this.setLayout(new BoxLayout(this, BoxLayout.X_AXIS));

I think this is a parse tree allocation problem because this works when you
first switch to a boxlayout. When you do a reload though the error occurs and
the VM doesn't handle it.

This prevents BoxLayout from being supported in the VE.
