Hello,
I would like to know the best method of breaking up large Java Swing classes. Some of mine are quite large and I would like to begin the process of properly modularizing my code. I saw that I could add my classes to Netbeans' palette but the problem is they are not showing me a graphical representation of what it will look like when I "drop" them into the GUI designer. Some third party jar files support getting added to the palette and they provide a graphical preview of what they'll look like once run.
My question is, I don't know the proper terminology for what this "preview" is called so I'm finding it very difficult to search for. I would like some documentation or a tutorial on how to make my current classes able to be added to the palette and see what it is they will look like in the GUI designer.
Thank you!
