scrollpane and vieportview

[mkornatzki]

i' m not sure. either i don't understand what's happening or there is a bug.
to make it easy i have a jframe, a scrollpane and a panel.
i add the scrollpane and the panel to the jframe.
now i set in the properties editor for the scrollpane the viewportView to the panel.
In the designer nothing happens but the source gets changed like this :

protected JPanel getPanel() {
if (panel == null) {
panel = new JPanel();
scrollPane.setViewportView(getPanel());
panel.setLayout(null);
panel.add(getLabel());
}

What i expected is something like this:
protected JScrollPane getScrollPane() {
if (scrollPane == null) {
...
scrollPane.setViewportView(getPanel());

}
return scrollPane;
}

Do i handle the designer in a wrong way?

1. In general you should not select view port using "viewportView" property. You should just drop it on JScrollPane on design canvas.

2. When JScrollPane is also created using getX() method, I can successfully select "panel" as "viewportView" value.

So, in general answer is "don't do this."
