Ah Yes Indeed, the dreaded red beans issue.

The GUI designer is a very nice tool, but this read beans issue is one of the most often complained about issues in the newsgroups.

The big problem is that the designer does not produce intellegent error messages to help you determine what is occurring for you to correct.

What you can do to figure out wat is going on is: 
1.  comment out most of the initialization in jbinit
2.  comment all of your own methods
3.  launch the designer

At this point, unless something is very wacky, the designer should now work again.

Now, uncomment a bit at a time in the jbinit, each time go back to the designer.

If you get everything uncommented again in jbinit, then the issue is in one of your methods.  Un-comment each method, one at a time.

It is painful but doing this has always solved the problem for me.
