How can I add JWindow to NetBeans project and edit it with GUI editor?

There is only an option to add JFrame and JPanel to project. I tried editing JFrame class to extend JWindow instead, but it leaves NetBeans' autogenerated code with errors, and this code can't be edited.

You can create your own template...

Place these two files in ...\NetBeans\7.2.1\config\Templates\GUIForms folder.

On Windows 7 that's C:\Users\{your user name}\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\7.2.1\config\Templates\GUIForms

JWindow.java

<#assign licenseFirst = "/*">
<#assign licensePrefix = " * ">
<#assign licenseLast = " */">
<#include "../Licenses/license-${project.license}.txt">

<#if package?? && package != "">
package ${package};

</#if>
/**
 *
 * @author ${user}
 */
public class ${name} extends javax.swing.JWindow {

    /** Creates new form ${name} */
    public ${name}() {
        initComponents();
    }

    /** This method is called from within the constructor to
     * initialize the form.
     * WARNING: Do NOT modify this code. The content of this method is
     * always regenerated by the Form Editor.
     */
    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    // <editor-fold defaultstate="collapsed" desc=" Generated Code ">//GEN-BEGIN:initComponents
    private void initComponents() {
        pack();
    }
    // </editor-fold>//GEN-END:initComponents

    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        /* Set the Nimbus look and feel */
        //<editor-fold defaultstate="collapsed" desc=" Look and feel setting code (optional) ">
        /* If Nimbus (introduced in Java SE 6) is not available, stay with the default look and feel.

         */
        try {
            for (javax.swing.UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo info : javax.swing.UIManager.getInstalledLookAndFeels()) {
                if ("Nimbus".equals(info.getName())) {
                    javax.swing.UIManager.setLookAndFeel(info.getClassName());
                    break;
                }
            }
        } catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
            java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger(${name}.class.getName()).log(java.util.logging.Level.SEVERE, null, ex);

        }
        //</editor-fold>

        /* Create and display the form */
        java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                new ${name}().setVisible(true);
            }
        });
    }

    // Variables declaration - do not modify//GEN-BEGIN:variables
    // End of variables declaration//GEN-END:variables

}

JWindow.form

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<Form version="1.3" type="org.netbeans.modules.form.forminfo.JFrameFormInfo">
  <SyntheticProperties>
    <SyntheticProperty name="formSizePolicy" type="int" value="1"/>
  </SyntheticProperties>

</Form>
