Bean Info getJavaInitializationString()

[munal]

Hi,

I've a custom property editor for a custom widget. My property editor returns a Java code
which refers a class in classpath. For example;

Code: Select all

myButton.setSettings(
  //property editor begins
  new ButtonSettings {
    "test", //Button Test
    BAlignment.LEFT //an enum class in classpath    
  } 
  //property editor ends
);

The problem is that WindowBuilder does not import BAlignment class automatically.

In WindowBuilder 6.9.2,
The designer is adding the java code, but eclipse is giving an import error. And designer
is not refreshing widget Alignment.

In WindowBuilder 7.1
The designer is crashing the code with an error.

If you return the fullpath of the class, probably you won't get an error. Bu it looks awful.

Code: Select all

myButton.setSettings(
  //property editor begins
  new ButtonSettings {
    "test", //Button Test
    org.myproject.mypacket.mysubpacket.BAlignment.LEFT //an enum class in classpath    
  } 
  //property editor ends
);

Is there an another way of doing this?

Thanks.

See the JavaDoc for getJavaInitializationString()...

Code: Select all

     * The code fragment should be context free and must be a legal Java
     * expression as specified by the JLS.
     * <p>
     * Specifically, if the expression represents a computation then all
     * classes and static members should be fully qualified. This rule
     * applies to constructors, static methods and non primitive arguments.

Any class refs need to be fully qualified as in your second example.
