Databinding question/feature

[rimmeraj]

Firstly, when I add property to my Model bean and then try to attach it using databinding in SWT dsigner it does not show the property. If I exit eclipse and restart it does. Compiling/Saving or running does not seem to refresh the state of the data bean.

As an aside.. it would be nice if during the databinding you could add the get/set methods to the Data Model. Maybe a template of what the getter and setters look like?

Try closing and re-openning the Designer editor or clicking the Refresh button in the editor.

I'm not sure what you mean.

I'll try again.

If you are use the Presentation Model pattern, your Presentation Model(PM) is holding the state of the view plus is a thin wrapper around your underlying data model. So instead of defining all the properties in the PM, creating the view components and then binding them together, what I was looking for was to add the properties to the PM as I was doing the databinding from the view.

It would be helpful if you could post an example of what you are talking about and any proposed code generation enhancements.
