I’m using the ‘Visual Editor’ to ‘paint’ my Swing GUI. Can I dynamically build the contents of a sub-panel with VE or do I have to use a predefined sub-class of JPanel (and build that with VE)?

You can dynamically build the contents of a sub panel – say based on a file or soemthing – the visual editor is not going to stop you.
Generally, VE is intelligent enough to see that you are dynamically build the panel and show the contents (say contents of a file in a JList)
Sometimes, VE fails to render the items because ‘The control is too complex’ – but this does not happen frequently.
