You could edit it externally by opening the .java file in notepad or any other external editor. But be careful, this may give rise to a lot of errors, so backup your code before doing so.
If you are using NB 5.0 it is possible to include additional code - IDE leaves space within guarded blocks - basically it is possible to invoke specific code before and after initialization of components, command transitions, etc.
Hey Biju u heard them, i do the same thing after doing all flow and GUI design you can modify it outside with textpad and save. But if u edit it again inside form editor i think your modified code or the old code anything(mostly modified code) will be replaced with NB code.
