How can you expect them to understand you if you use strange abbreviations? Programming is an exercise in precision. If you have a question here, you would do well to communicate it precisely.
At the site [How to Ask Smart Questions|http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#writewell] :
h1. Write in clear, grammatical, correctly-spelled language
We've found by experience that people who are careless and sloppy writers are usually also careless and sloppy at thinking and coding (often enough to bet on, anyway). Answering questions for careless and sloppy thinkers is not rewarding; we'd rather spend our time elsewhere.
So expressing your question clearly and well is important. If you can't be bothered to do that, we can't be bothered to pay attention. Spend the extra effort to polish your language. It doesn't have to be stiff or formal � in fact, hacker culture values informal, slangy and humorous language used with precision. But it has to be precise; there has to be some indication that you're thinking and paying attention.
Spell, punctuate, and capitalize correctly. Don't confuse �its� with �it's�, �loose� with �lose�, or �discrete� with �discreet�. Don't TYPE IN ALL CAPS; this is read as shouting and considered rude. (All-smalls is only slightly less annoying, as it's difficult to read. Alan Cox can get away with it, but you can't.)
More generally, if you write like a semi-literate boob you will very likely be ignored. So don't use instant-messaging shortcuts. Spelling "you" as "u" makes you look like a semi-literate boob to save two entire keystrokes. Worse: writing like a l33t script kiddie hax0r is the absolute kiss of death and guarantees you will receive nothing but stony silence (or, at best, a heaping helping of scorn and sarcasm) in return.
If you are asking questions in a forum that does not use your native language, you will get a limited amount of slack for spelling and grammar errors � but no extra slack at all for laziness (and yes, we can usually spot that difference). Also, unless you know what your respondent's languages are, write in English. Busy hackers tend to simply flush questions in languages they don't understand, and English is the working language of the Internet. By writing in English you minimize your chances that your question will be discarded unread.
the main issue here is my questionMy recommendation: learn to do Swing without a code-generator. You gain a much better understanding of the underpinnings of Swing, the layout managers, and you gain extremely good control of component placement.

Hi, sometimes installing all the necessary plugins for eclipse to have the GUI editor is complicated, searching for help I found EasyEclipse:
[http://www.easyeclipse.org/site/distributions/desktop-java.html|http://www.easyeclipse.org/site/distributions/desktop-java.html]
There are several distributions, this one includes the GUI editor and is designed for java desktop applications. Although I prefer NetBeans to eclipse which also has a GUi editor.
I dont use Fedora but I am sure you wont find problems getting easyeclipse installed.
Good luck!

Best GUI Editor as of 2008?

Hi, is there an easy-to-use GUI editor that can help me make GUI's?
I've seen Visual Editor for Eclipse but I need a tutorial that will be modern, not 2005, b/c the tutorials don't fit the latest versions of Eclipse.
I'm just curious if there is an easy way to learn this, as it should be easier to do than this. I'd like extensive, easy to use tutorials.
Thanks

I keep hearing this argument.
The problem with it regarding Java is that once you understand how the basic layout managers work, it's relatively trivial to write a Swing gui. Not to mention that the code you write yourself will be much more understandable and readable if you have to mess with it later.And I keep hearing this one.
So, you never read it.
Really you don't. The code is a side effect, like the Java file I bet a fair old few JSP containers make. I bet that is awful too. But so what, you never edit it directly.
And if something really does go wrong, throw the thing away. The UI editor makes it very easy to recreate, likely much less work than faffing about in code, generated or not.
The only good arguments against GUI editors at the moment (IMO)
* Ties you to a single development tool. And IMO that is an acceptable cost for some projects.
* Promotes awful design/no thought to reusability. If you can not trust your self, or your developers not to abuse a tool then don't use it. GUI tools can do reusability and good design.
Most tools require you to know the basics first. UI editors are no exception. O/c if you can not do it manually, don't use a tool.
UI tools are not for everyone I agree. But this out-right rejection of them is generally based on things you will not do with them (like read the source it generates) or outdated and based on experience with old tools.

Netbeans GUI editor: Add an action on exit?

Hello,
I have a GUI built using netbeans GUI editor and I would like to execute some code just before the program exits. Does anyone know of a decent way to do this?
Thanks,

Hi,
Just a remark. As a good practice, one should only extend Thread when one wants a Thread to have special capabilities.
Generally, one should create a new Thread with a Runnable. So you could enhance your code as follows:
public ShutdownRunner implements Runnable {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        USB_interface_K8055.JCloseDevice(); // Static JNI method
        System.out.println("Shutting down");
}and
// add shutdown hook for program
        Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(new Thread(new ShutdownRunner());Glad to be of help,
Piet

Forte For Java GUI Editor

Hi everyone,
I've been trying to switch usage between Forte for Java running on 2 platforms (Win NT and Solaris 8). For this reason, I want to try to use the GUI Editor in each. But when I tried copying the same .class file from one platform to another and running opening the file under Forte for Java, the GUI Editor doesn't show up the form and Component Editor. Is there a way to make Forte for Java able to recognize the GUI components in a class file not creatd in Forte or not in that version of Forte? Thank you for any help!
Bob

Hi,
this happens not just with class file but also with .java
file. I created a GUI with Forte ( on windows ) and because I did not jave runtime setup on windows, I copied, java file that was created to the unix env. Then added some code to it and copied back to the windows.
After that, GUI editor never came up. I lost all that I did
to create a GUI. Now I can modify GUI only manually.
I you have found answer to this, please let meknow
at [email protected]
rgds,

JSpinner in Forte 4.0 CE GUI Editor

Is there any way to integrate a JSpinner in (NetBeans/Forte/)SunOne 4.0 GUI Editor ?
The JSpinner class is in rt.jar, but is not visible as bean, and thus cannot be integrated in the GUI editor ?
Any idea would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Lo�c QUERAN

I just tried that and JSpinner isn't among the choices.
Forte's help says:
"If the beans you expect to see are not displayed, the required attribute Java-Bean: True is missing from the bean's entries in the JAR manifest."
That means extracting/editing/replacing the manifest.mf file in rt.jar to add a section like:
Name: javax/swing/JSpinner.class
Java-Bean: True
Anyway, what I've done in the past is design my Forte GUI with some other component in the JSpinner's place - I usually use a JComboBox. Then after Forte's initComponents() method has run replace it with mine.
JSpinner spin = new JSpinner( someSpinModel );
Container parent = placeHoldJCombo.getParent();
parent.remove( placeHoldJCombo );
parent.add( spin );Although I'll definitely try the manifest.mf edit step next time I need to use JSpinner. Thanks for pointing that out.

Associating external editor in Eclipse for OSX

How do I associate an external editor to eclipse?
With Windows and Linx I can do this with Preferences->General->Editors->File Associaion. I then click the file type (in this case *.doc), and browse to the application (either OpenOffice or MS Word) and select the app that I want. Then whenever I select a file of that type inside of eclipse, it opens the file in the associated editor.
But when do the same thing in OSX, the program never starts.
There must be some way to call OpenOffice or MS Word from inside eclipse.
Does anybody know how to do this in OSX?
Thank you for you help

This sounds like a bug. We probably don't test with a prompt
containing a carriage return. You can file this bug using

CSS Editor in Eclipse hijacked/disabled

Flex sets itself as the default CSS editor in Eclipse, whihc
is fine.. except that I prefer the WST CSS editor that is installed
with the WST toolkit that you can get from Eclipse.org.
So.. going to "Preferences>General>Editors>File
Associations" I can set the default CSS editor back to the WST CSS
editor, and even delete the Flex CSS editor - but doing that just
gives me "plain text" css files (black font, no code completion,
Outline View etc).
But - if I go into "Help>Manage Configuration" and DISABLE
Flex - I get my CSS editor back!
SO - does anyone know how I can have Flex ENABELD *and* have
my referred CSS editor..?
Cheers,
Sean

I don't know if this is the problem, but Eclipse remembers
the last
editor used to open a file. So, if you have a file called
foo.css and
open it with the Flex CSS editor, that file will open with
the Flex CSS
editor the next time you open it even if you have changed the
file
association for .css files. But files that you haven't opened
before
should open with the editor specified by the fila
associations.
Here's something to try: Right-click on your CSS file and
choose the WST
editor from the "Open With" submenu. That file should then
open with the
WST editor on subsequent openings.

Gui editor with highlighting

Does anyone want to recommend a nice, small, gui editor that will do proper highlighting/markup (whatever you call it) for an assortment of file types (ie tex, fortran, c, etc...). Something to colorize my 'for's, 'while's, and 'vspace's. I don't like gvim for this purpose...something simpler like leafpad but with automatic coloring.
Thanks!

vi is all I use on cli but when I want to point and click and scroll and edit, I don't want to care if I am in insert, command, or command line mode. I used to use kwrite all the time (just a month ago any program I used began with a k) and agree that it is top-notch. However, I think I like medit for an all purpose editor, now; it even recognized scilab files which made me happy. I haven't tried beaver yet but it looks like it could be promising.

J2ME GUI EDITOR

Hi,
Sorry for my english!
Is there a GUI EDITOR For MIDLET/MIDP/J2ME Form ......like that one of Jbuilder for the form?
Thank's!

The latest IBM WSDD 5.7 (or 5.7.1) has a MIDP GUI editor in the IDE. However, I have not used it at all so I'm not one to comment on how or how well it works.
