BoxLayout is not a JavaBean, so the designer cannot manipulate it as nicely
as other layouts. If you use BoxLayout2 in the designer, you
can switch it by hand to BoxLayout by changing the class variable
defininition from BoxLayout2 boxLayout21 = new BoxLayout2();
to just BoxLayout boxLayout21; and then add a line to the beginning of the
jbInit method to create the box layout for the container that will use it:
boxLayout21 = new BoxLayout(container,BoxLayout.X_AXIS);  remove any setAxis
calls generated for the boxLayout2 and
your are in buisiness. Be sure that the container specified in the BoxLayout
constructor matches the the one doing the setLayout call, or the exception
thrown by BoxLayout during addNotify will make the designer very unhappy.
