I have just installed Eclipse 3.4 and found out that there is not a plugin to create Swing applications yet. I also have found that there is a Matisse implementation in MyEclipse IDE, but I'd like to now whether there is such a Matisse plugin for free. ...
I made a custom ValueObject class with properties (getters/setters) and I need this class for data binding of elements on form. So I want to drag it to "other components" on matisse editor so I can bind it - and nothing happens.... Any similar experiences? The same issue is happening both on NetBeans 6.5 and MyEclipse 7.0M2 ...
Is there a stand-alone GUI designer that can read and write the .form files that NetBeans (Matisse) generates? I like the GUI designer, but I don't want all the overhead of a complete Java IDE just to create and edit .form XML files. ...
What's the best way to convert NetBeans (Matisse) .form files into .java files, without using the NetBeans IDE itself? Ideally I'd like to package the .form files along with my source code, and generate the .java files at build time. This will prevent developers from "accidentally" adding code to the generated .java file using some other...
Hi, I'm new to netbeans I played around with matisse gui editor and would like to delete a buttonGroup with no reference. I tried the refactor/safe delete action but no way to do so!! That so bad. Is there a trick or do I have to re-start everything? 2.By the way I find it so crazy not to be able to edit the generated grey source cod...
Well i'm having a problem which appeared i think when i rollbacked a .form file from subversion. The NB 6.1 can open the .form but when i try to save the file the IDE throws an out of memory exception. In NB 6.5 i can open and save the file but the IDE is behaving very strange:every 1 min or so freezes for 20 sec and then unfreezes. O...
I have created a fairly substantial Java GUI application with many form windows where the settings are locked up in .form files. I am wondering is there any way to convert or refactor these .form files into real Java source code that I can modify? The GUI was created using Netbeans 6.5. ...
Do you know any decent framework for creating Swing screens? I need to extend my application for implementors that will have to add their own screens. Possible options: Netbeans platform with Matisse editor Bean builder (very old and unsupported) Eclipse VEP (beta) Any other option? Update: I am not looking for design time tool t...
We have a dilema; developing desktop application using matisse or jigloo.. Matisse has this XML form files which we are affraid of maintaining later, we don't even know should MyEclipse further support Matisse, even Netbeans - do you think they will give up os support of Matisse? Moreless Jigloo and Matisse have similar behaviour, alt...
When I create a JPanel in Netbeans, it allows me to specify which LayoutManager to use for it from a fixed set of LayoutManagers, including BoxLayout. After adding a couple of components to the JPanel, I would like to add horizontal spacers (created using Box.createHorizontalStrut) to make the layout look better. I could manually add the...
Hi: I'm starting development on an existing open source project that used a hand-coded GUI. Is it possible to somehow import this into Matisse, so that I can edit this project's GUI in Matisse? Or do I basically have to rebuild it from scratch in Matisse? Cheers, red.october ...
When using the Swing graphical editor in NetBeans is it possible for a custom component to detect that it's design time? E.g. public CustomComponent() { initComponents(); if (!isDesignTime()) { someIcon = IconFactory.loadIcon("icons/SomeIcon.png"); } } Basically I'm after something like .net's Component.DesignMode...

I'd like to create a GUI where some of the textfields are resizable horizontaly but maximum width is also specified. For instance the preferred width is 100 pixels, it can be bigger if the window is resized, but the maximum allowed width is 200 pixels. GroupLayout supports this, we can specify the max size in the addComponent method (alo...
Hi, I am having problems obfuscating a desktop application with Progaurd. I think it is something to do with the fact I have used Matisse for some of my GUI's... The problems are things like menu strings not appearing (*.properties file issues?) or windows not loading. I have tried keeping the classes I built with Matisse without any l...
How to modify/add code to the initComponents() method in Java on Net Beans? When I try to add any line of code this area seems to be like read only and it's highlighted in gray! It's for security probably, but I suppose there is a way to disable that. ...
For no apparent reason all my Swing GUI forms using components linked to org.jdesktop.beansbinding.Converter started generating errors when trying to open the Design View: Error Error in loading component property: [JPanel]->filterTextField->converter. Cannot load property type class org.jdesktop.beansbinding.Converter. The property can...

Searching the web did not yield any useful infrmation so far. The screenc...
