Broken Designer Preference?

[steves]

I can't seem to get the General preference 'Add ResourceManager class to existing project as necessary' to work. I assume that if it is not checked, I don't have to worry about Designer adding this class to my project all the time. However, with both 4.1.0 and 4.1.1, ResourceManager/SWTResourceManager are added regardless of the state of the checkbox.

Is this preference broken or do I just not understand what it's supposed to control?

Thanks.

All the time? That class is only generated when it is needed. If that class is not present, you won't be able to set colors or fonts.

The preference was broken. It has been fixed in the latest v4.1.1 build.

Hi Eric,

I should have been more specific. No, not all the time; indeed, only when Designer detects that it is needed. I don't want to get into why I need to do this because it will probably get me flamed , but it is only temporary.

The preference was broken. It has been fixed in the latest v4.1.1 build.

Thanks for the quick turnaround!

I've recently installed 4.2.0 with Eclispse 3.1.1 on my OSX (10.4) machine and the ResourceManager classes are NOT automatically added to the project anymore, regardless if the box is checked or not It was working on the Mac in Designer 4.1.0 and Eclipse 3.1

Please Help! My composites that need to change fonts sizes, etc will not compile.

Thanks,

Have you tried v4.2.1? I tried it and it seemed to work fine.

Do any exceptions appear in your Eclipse ".log" file?

You can always copy the classes from the plugins\com.swtdesigner_4.2.x\supplied_src directory.
