I made a Java application with AbsoluteLayout using NetBeans on a Machine then I moved project data files to another machine, there I got Reference Problem message for some libraries including AbsoluteLayout library.
I fixed project libraries and removed AbsoluteLayout.jar from Project libaries and added it again using Netbeans's add library option.
Now in the Set Layout menu there is no AbsoluteLayout !! (For all projects!!)

How Can I add AbsoluteLayout to SetLayout menu of Netbeans again?

Thanks

A radical solution that solves many Netbeans problems (specially those related to the user configuration) is removing the user directory and letting Netbeans recreate it.

Before NB 7.2 this folder was located inside the HOME user directory (/home/user or C:\Users\user)
