Problem loading custom JPanel in Netbeans. Can't use Design view

So I have been creating an application using Netbeans. For a while everything was fine then one minute I could Design my view, then the next I couldn't. The error says

Error in loading component: [JFrame]->jSplitPanel1->scatterPlotView1 Cannot create instance of homework3.ScatterPlo开发者_如何转开发tView The component cannot be loaded.

I have been looking on the forums and the net but cannot find a solution to this problem. This first started happening when I updated to Java SE 6 Update 24 from Update 23. I even uninstalled both x86 and x64 sdks and then reinstalled. I also uninstalled netbeans, re-installed it, then opened the project. This worked for a bit then some black magic happened, and now I am back a square one.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the error from the IDE Log if it helps:

I faced the same (or very near) problem in the past. To fix it, I have had to provide a Constructor without arguments. Otherwise, the Designer can't instantiate your Class...

Hope it help.
