Creating a custom JFrame to swing designer

[aslani]

Is it possible to create my own custom JFrame template to swing designer?

This is done very easy in Netbeans, you just right click on your custom frame and choose "Use as template".


Something else I miss from Netbeans is the ability to center align my frame in the screen with the swing designer. Right now I have to put this code in the end of my frame:

java.awt.Dimension screenSize = java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
setLocation((screenSize.width - getWidth()) / 2, (screenSize.height - getHeight()) / 2);

It could be greate if this could be done with the swing designer?

The standard JFrame template that Designer uses can be found here:

plugins\com.swtdesigner_6.0.1\templates\Swing\JFrame.jvt

It's a pretty simple file format, so you could modify that directly to achieve what you want. If you do that, you would need to update that file every time you installed a new Swing Designer build.
