I see in the preferences that it gives me some options for perfered
method names. If I remove all method names except initComponents, it
still generates the form with an initialize() method.
How can I get VE to use initComponents?
Thanks.

For others interested, my workaround was to rename initialize() to
init(). Apparently VE treats them the same.
This was all I needed, but I just wish I didn't have to go through trial
and error to find out something simple like thie.

The (default) getter style VE provides always generates the Initialize()
method (vs. a getter method) when you set properties to the class you
are editing ( i.e., this.setXXX()).
It will generate an instance variable for every component that you drop,
and instantiate it inside a getter method. This getter method would be
the initialization method; where VE will parse for settings on this
component.
JButton button = null ;
// This is the init method
private JButton getButton() {
button = new JButton() ; <--------------
button.setXX() // will be parsed
:
return button ;
}
// This is not the init method
private JButton getCoolButton {
:
button.setYY() ; // will not be parsed
return button;
}
=============================
On the parsing side if you have the following pattern
JButton button = new JButton() ; <----------------
private void someInitMethod() {
button.setXX();
}
private void someOtherMethod() {
button.setYY();
}
VE has no way to know which method is the (Design) initialization
method, as the button's construction is in its declaration.
If "someInitMethod" is listed in the pref. page, then VE will parse the
button.setXX();

So the preferences alloy you to add in some user-defined methods for
dropped components only? What I'd like to customize is the initialze
method that was generated for the parent form (JPanel). We are porting
several classes over from NetBeans. NetBeans uses initComponents as its
'initialize' method. I'd like to have VE follow the same pattern to
minimize the amount of code we have to change. Maybe it's not possible.

The current style will parse the initComponents, and will continue to
use it for existing beans. It will generate a getter() only for new
components that you drop.
VE can be extended with a "single initialization method" style
contribution.
Open a bugzilla request.
