How to use MiG with Netbeans

Question

I right clicked my project, went to properties, libraries and added miglayout-4.0-swing.jar, but upon writing

JPanel mainwindow = new JPanel(new MigLayout());

in my project it cannot find the MigLayout class, and wants me to create it. Am I doing something wrong?

A number of things come to mind: Restart netbeans, check project properties, libraries, make sure its still there. When you added it to the project, did you chose add Jar/Folder? You've added an import statement for the class right? Attempts to find it with ctrl+space (hit this twice) fail? Are you sure the jar file isn't corrupt? — BillRobertson42, Dec 20 '11 at 05:51

You should go to Tools -> Libraries and create an entry for MigLayout like they show here. Then you add that library to your project.
