  private void $$$setupUI$$$() {

  new Insets(10, 10, 10, 10),
  -1, -1));
  xyzField = new JTextField();
  xyzField.setText("");
  xyzField.setEditable(false);
  mainPanel.add(xyzField,
  new com.intellij.uiDesigner.core.GridConstraints(0, 1, 1, 1,
  com.intellij.uiDesigner.core.GridConstraints.ANCHOR_WEST,

  com.intellij.uiDesigner.core.GridConstraints.SIZEPOLICY_FIXED,
  null,
  new Dimension(250, -1),
  null));[/code]

we have:

[code] private final JPanel mainPanel = new JPanel();

private final JTextField xyzField = new JTextField();
{ xyzField.setText(""); xyzField.setEditable(false); mainPanel.add(xyzField, new com.intellij.uiDesigner.core.GridConstraints(0, 1, 1, 1, com.intellij.uiDesigner.core.GridConstraints.ANCHOR_WEST, com.intellij.uiDesigner.core.GridConstraints.FILL_HORIZONTAL, com.intellij.uiDesigner.core.GridConstraints.SIZEPOLICY_WANT_GROW, com.intellij.uiDesigner.core.GridConstraints.SIZEPOLICY_FIXED, null, new Dimension(250, -1), null)); }[/code]

This will eliminate the problems of having the call to $$$setupUI$$$ after references to the GUI fields in other initializers. See http://www.intellij.net/tracker/idea/viewSCR?publicId=26558. The GUI fields can now be made final. It also produces neater code.
