I've been happily zooming along in my development of a module using Designer. At some point yesterday afternoon, I started hand coding some stuff. That just seemed faster. I probably stopped using Designer at some point and had integrated the module with my application. So I did not notice when that module stopped working with Designer.
Specifically, when I open an editor on that module in Eclipse, Designer's Source and Design tabs are absent.
I went back as far as my Eclipse local history could go, about 4pm yesterday afternoon. I sure think I was using the designer on that module at that time, but possibly not. Anyway, still not recognized as a Designer module.
I didn't think I hacked it up that badly. What are the major things to watch out for in hand editing a Designer module?
One particular thing I am curious about. Designer seemed to place a certain hunk of code in a block, i.e. surrounded by a pair of braces. Is there a rule about that? Why, when, where?
So below is the module, in its non-working-with-Designer state. It has no Java errors, and does work in my application.
Thanks,
Tom
