Description

I assume that the Form Design source-code generator has been changed since Netbeans 8 because loading a sample project creates import errors saying "org.jdesktop.layout" components can't be found.

These errors occur within the generated code section that cannot be fixed manually - I have tried adding the JAR file to the Library and import_ing the components but they appear as unused even though they are in the editable part of the same source file.

The project comes from the Internationalization Tutorial

https://netbeans.org/kb/docs/java/gui-automatic-i18n.html

and the zip is from

https://netbeans.org/files/documents/4/770/InternationalizeDemo.zip

I also need to report the errors with this file as a documentation issue, I'm just not sure how or where to do that so ... if you could pass this on
