Wrapping/Unwrapping Components
The Surround With feature is available in the GUI Designer, as well is in the editor. In the GUI Designer, you can wrap a container of your choice around one or more components, and remove wrapping.
Select one or more components in the Form Workspace, or in the Components tree view.
On the context menu of the selection, choose Surround with, or press CtrlAlt0T.
In the Surround With popup menu, click the desired container, or press the corresponding numeric key.
When reasonable, IntelliJ IDEA smartly suggests wrapping a component into a container. This is done with the help of intention action. For example, IntelliJ IDEA suggests to wrap a JList into a JScrollPane:

Right-click container node in the Components tree view.
On the context menu, choose Flatten.
