Why can't it work like in the versions before?

Hi,

with the actual swingdesigner (7.5xxx) i can not add components from a factory class.
With an earlier version (7.4) i have no problems.

Here is an Example:
Create the class FactoryTest and a Method like:

Code: Select all

   public static JLabel createLabel() {
      return new JLabel("Hallo");
   }


Then click on palette in swingdesigner and select addStaticFactory and then multiple...
In Version 7.4 i can then select the methods and have a new component on the palette.
With 7.5xxx i get the message "Factory class de.parcit.FactoryTest contains no factory methods."

cheers, michael

Factory classes work the same in v7.5 as they did in v7.4.

Factory classes should end with the word "Factory" to make all of its methods factory methods or you need to add a "@wbp.factory" tag to the class or to each separate method.

Change the class name from FactoryTest to TestFactory, and it should be fine.

i'm so sorry.
my example was wrong (but works in 7.4) and it seems that my factory.xml is wrong too.

thanks, michael

What factory.xml are you referring to?
