Default code Generation settings not for Actions

[chrisR]

After adding a new (External)Action Swing Designer generates a final field:

Code: Select all

   private final SwingAction swingAction = new SwingAction();
   protected JButton getBtn() {
      if (btn == null) {
         btn = new JButton("New button");
         btn.setAction(swingAction);
      }
      return btn;
   }

independent of the code generation settings of the Preferences.

Does Swing Designer support lazy initialization of Actions

Code: Select all

   protected SwingAction getSwingAction() {
      if (swingAction == null) {
         swingAction = new SwingAction();
      }
      return swingAction;
   }

   protected JButton getBtn() {
      if (btn == null) {
         btn = new JButton("New button");
         btn.setAction(getSwingAction());
      }
      return btn;
   }

How I customize Swing Designer to get a separate getXXX() Method with lazy Initialization

The latest Swing Designer v7.1 build now supports lazy code generation for Actions.
