Policy for adding code to generated Java class files

[fredatwork]

Hello,

I'm a rather new Swing Designer user.

Sometimes, when I add some code to the generated constructor of a component class file, this code disapears after a regeneration by the Designer. I have everything generated in the constructor (I 'm not using getter methods).

Are there some guidelines/policies about how the end-user should code into the code generated by the Designer ?

Do you have an example? Designer does not "regenerate" any code. It updates only the lines of code in a class that are affected by a change in the design view. User added code can exist anywhere in the file and shoud not be affected.

No. In general, you can add code anywhere you like. You can also freely change / refactor the generated code.
