Hello Eric (and everyone else),
Just wanted to ask a question about the new Designer version. I am using a clean Eclipse 3.4 with GWT 1.6.4 & 1.7 now with all the plugins and the newest designer 7.
I imported my project into a new workspace via SVN to experiment with it. I have owned the Designer product for almost a year but had to move back to the standard project structure for compatibility reasons.
So I converted my project again to a Designer project but I cannot design any of my classes.
I have two questions about this behavior,
how can I tell what qualifies a class as "design-able"?
what is the best approach for an existing project/class to maximize ease of using the designer once a fairly complex set of widgets has been created?
I have seen a few topics now on IsDesignTime(), is that still viable in the new versions? Is it smart enough to allow my classes to be design-able if I implement this?
I have an abstract widget that extends a Composite that is the basis for all of my visual classes. There is nothing in any of my visual classes that would call a RPC or require anything other than some parameters during construction. I remember the old version of the Designer did not like classes without a default constructor, I even tried to make one but could stilll not get into Designer.
Thanks, I am looking forward to trying the new version out asap!!!
Rob
