Accessing a component's Customizer
When we use third-party components in JBuilder we sometimes must access the component's customizer class for changing property values of the component. A customizer is shown by JBuilder in a separate dialog window.

To start a customizer we can right-click on the component in the Visual Designer and select the Customizer... option:

Right-click on a component to access the customizer

But this doesn't work if the component is placed in a GridBagLayout, because then we don't have the Customizer... option:

Right-click on a component to access the customizer, when the component is placed in a GridBagLayout

So how do we access the customizer? We have to look at the structure pane to get access to the customizer. The structure pane shows all components for the class in a tree view. When we right-click on the component in the tree view, we get a popup menu with the Customizer... option available:
