javax.swing.GroupLayout

[oraether]

Hey i´m using the SwingDesigner Version from JBuilder 2008 (Eclipse 3.3).

Is the LayoutManager javax.swing.GroupLayout integrated in SwingDesigner Version of JBuilder 2008 ?

I only found the jdesktop Version.

Thanks

Yes. If you are using JDK 1.6 and turn on the Designer > Swing > GroupLayout > Use JDK classes if possible preference, Swing Designer will generate code using javax.swing.GroupLayout.

Sorry, doesn´t work for me. (i´m using JB2008 enterprise)

1. I set the preference exactly like yours

2. i create a new project and set in the JRE section the Java Version to 1.6.

3. Create a new JPanel

when i switch to layout i have a tab with "Swing Layouts".
Within this menu i have

Absolute(null Layout)
FlowLayout
BorderLayout
GridLayout
CardLayout
SpringLayout
FormLayout
GroupLayout
BoxLayout

But when i select the GroupLayout it is not "javax.swing.GroupLayout"
It´s still "org.jdesktop.layout.GroupLayout"

Anything else i have can check ? JB2008 itself is running under 1.5. Is it needful, that JB2008 is running under 1.6 ?

Yes, you have to run the JB under 1.6 since the only this JRE contains the GroupLayout classes. Otherwise the stand-alone jar would be used.

That´s it - thanks

Glad that worked.
