when I try to select all the code and click "Open with > JFormDesigner Edit" it shows this:

1. Don't use JFormDesigner

2. Use WindowsBuilder plugin for Eclipse if not hardcoding

That does not really contribute to the problem in the thread....

It does, by doing what I said, you won't have that issue.

That could be the equivalent of me saying "Stop coding for the rest of your life. And you'll never have that issue." If you won't stay related to the question at hand, don't bother posting.

Ok let's try this another way.

 

Hey I highly suggest using Windows Builder for Eclipse since it's a plugin and seamlessly integrates with your projects and is in my opinion far easier to use as I have used both for at least 1 week. It doesn't hurt to try and if you don't like it, then don't use it!
