Swing Matisse GUI - cannot add custom made bean to "Other components"

Question

I made a custom ValueObject class with properties (getters/setters) and I need this class for data binding of elements on form. So I want to drag it to "other components" on matisse editor so I can bind it - and nothing happens.... Any similar experiences? The same issue is happening both on NetBeans 6.5 and MyEclipse 7.0M2

Answer 1

The usual method for adding components to the control palette is through the Palette Manager: right-click the palette (the 'other components' area for example) and select Palette Manager, then add it from the appropriate place (your current project by the sound of it.)

Your project needs to compile cleanly to do this.
