<?php
// ...
public function buildForm(FormBuilder $builder, array $options)
{
    $builder
        // ...
        ->add('choice', 'genemu_jqueryselect2_choice', array(
            'choices' => array(
                'foo' => 'Foo',
                'bar' => 'Bar',
            )
        ))
        ->add('country', 'genemu_jqueryselect2_country')
        ->add('entity', 'genemu_jqueryselect2_entity', array(
            'class' => 'MyBundle\Entity\Class',
            'property' => 'name',
        ))
    ;
}
