addcomponenet error.

Code:

---

    .addGroup(layout.createSequentialGroup()
                            .addComponent(jLabel3, javax.swing.GroupLayout.Alignment.LEADING, javax.swing.GroupLayout.DEFAULT_SIZE, 55, Short.MAX_VALUE)
                            .addComponent(jLabel2, javax.swing.GroupLayout.Alignment.LEADING, javax.swing.GroupLayout.DEFAULT_SIZE, javax.swing.GroupLayout.DEFAULT_SIZE, Short.MAX_VALUE)
                            .addComponent(jLabel1, javax.swing.GroupLayout.Alignment.LEADING, javax.swing.GroupLayout.DEFAULT_SIZE, 55, Short.MAX_VALUE))
                        .addPreferredGap(javax.swing.LayoutStyle.ComponentPlacement.RELATED)
                        .addGroup(layout.createParallelGroup(javax.swing.GroupLayout.Alignment.LEADING)
                                        .addComponent(accountNumberField, javax.swing.GroupLayout.Alignment.TRAILING, javax.swing.GroupLayout.DEFAULT_SIZE, 175, Short.MAX_VALUE)
                            .addComponent(surnameField, javax.swing.GroupLayout.Alignment.TRAILING, javax.swing.GroupLayout.DEFAULT_SIZE, 175, Short.MAX_VALUE)
                            .addComponent(firstNameField, javax.swing.GroupLayout.DEFAULT_SIZE, 175, Short.MAX_VALUE))))

                .addContainerGap());

Why is there an error on the first addcomponent(jlabel3...
but the others that follow don't have an error?

This is the error i get

Code:

---

cannot find symbol
symbol  : method addComponent(javax.swing.JLabel,javax.swing.GroupLayout.Alignment,int,int,short)
location: class javax.swing.GroupLayout.SequentialGroup
                            .addComponent(jLabel3, javax.swing.GroupLayout.Alignment.LEADING, javax.swing.GroupLayout.DEFAULT_SIZE, 80, Short.MAX_VALUE)
                            ^

Have you tried to manually change the grouplayout-using code? Have you deleted the declaration of any variables (in particular jLabel3)? Myself, I try to use the other more user-friendly layouts and avoid using NetBeans-generated code. YMMV. Much luck!
