Back to cn1 and new builder :) I am having some weird issues, First of all it always starts with a layeredlayout, thats not a huge problem I guess, so I place a container in there and set it to border layout. But then how do I drag something into the border layout?? Everytime I drop it in it it goes into the layeredlayout, I cannot get things directly into the other containers. And it seems you cannot drag onto the hierarchy to do this either?

Im using 3.7.1 is that latest? Still other issues, the + thing turns to a minus on the hierarchy, not major issue but a bit confusing. I am having trouble setting contrains on cells in a table layout too, they dont seem to change, is there an "apply" button? Is it advisable to use this yet? or old one is still good enough? Id love to learn it but not if its still in beta.

No that's not the latest.  The latest release is 3.8.  With 3.8, you should be able to drag into sub-components.

The GUI builder version is dictated by the plugin version.  Not your libs version.  You need to update your plugin.

thanks steve! I make that mistake every damn time :) maybe there should be a balloon saying new plugin available in netbeans. I am hoping 3.8 is much nicer than 3.71, that doesnt even update when u change things.
