Integration with NetBeans GUI Designer / Issues

[4verage]

Hello! I'm working on a new branch off of UniCenta oPOS. The code was written in Netbeans and uses WebLAF heavily throughout the project. All of the forms were designed in the integral NetBeans GUI designer and I cannot edit them in anything else.

However, when attempting to open any form with WebLAF components already added, it errors out and will not let me edit.

For instance, on the launch screen form I receive: Error in loading component: [JPanel] -> m_jPanelDown -> panelTask -> webMemoryBar1
Cannot create instance of com.alee.extended.statusbar.WebMemoryBar.
The component cannot be loaded.

The Exception shows:

com.thoughtworks.xstream.converters.ConversionException: Included skin file "resources/label.xml" cannot be read! : Included skin file "resources/label.xml" cannot be read!

This is getting thrown from com.alee.managers.style.data.SkinInfo

I have confirmed that the label.xml file exists. I can open it fine from any text editor.

Is there a known issue/fix with this? It is very apparent that the developer was able to create their forms in Netbeans with these components. I feel like I am probably missing something very obvious. Any help you could provide would be wonderful! Thank you!
