How to make jButton invisible but workable in Eclipse Visual Editor

SOS, to all Programmers, thx for your attention i recently encounter a problem when i do my codings in eclipse visual editor, i can;t seem to make my jButton invisible, i plan to
insert image then put jButton over them, make them invisible so i can just click the image and go elsewhere (E.g. a pop up box or link), but i try all ways and it can't work, plz spot the solution for me. thanks in advance.

You can't click an invisible button, so you'll have to put the image on the button (as icon) or add a MouseListener to whatever component you're using to show the image.

Image in Eclipse Visual Editor

I'm using the Eclipse Visual Editor and I want to have an image displayed on my application that the user could interact with (draw points on it). How would I do this?

I'm using eclipse visual editor, Personally, I recommend against using such tools as you don't learn how to hand code GUI layouts, and then run into brick walls such as the one you've bumped into.
I can't figure out (and understand if it's possible) to reduce the size of column 1, so that the button in column 2 is just next the textfields.Since you are using a JTabbedPane your total panel size is dictated by more than just the column widths, it is also influenced by the needs of the JPanels or other jcomponents on the other tab pages. I'm not sure of a simple solution. I assume that you've played with the weightx values for your components.
I added the button positioning the mouse at the right border of column 1, but i can't understand why column 1 took so much space, while column 0 just fit the labels inside it.Hard to know without the code. Perhaps the weightx values are different, but who knows.
Any suggestions? ThanksHand code this thing if possible.

Eclipse - Visual Editor

I use the eclipse 3.0 and I have installed the visual editor through Help -> Software Updates -> Find and Install...
So I believe it�s installed correct, but I�d like to know what should I do to start it. I tried to change the perspective, there ins�t the visual editor option though.
Does anybody know how to do that?
Thx

VE is not started as a different perspective but rather, as of Eclipse 3.0.2 I have installed, it will open a new perspective as you add a new "visual class" to your project.
A problem I experienced during the initial installation is that Eclipse seems not to be able to build its configuration files all at once.
The online documentation suggests, if you cannot see "Visual Editor" amongst all of the other installed plugin, to delete the following:
/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/manifests
/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/.bundledata
/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/.state
and restart the program. This will force Eclipse to rebuild its configuration files.
(Just to be more careful you could move them instead!).
Hope this will help.
Bye

Osmosys SDK and Eclipse Visual Editor

Hello!
Does someone know if Osmosys SDK 2.0 can use the embedded Visual Editor in Eclipse?
Thanks in advance

I don't think it aims to be the best. It's not even close to working. You can do really simple things, and nothing more. And you can't first write the class by hand, and then switch over to the UI builder, and you aren't allowed to touch the code if you started in the UI builder. (This is how it was about a year ago).
The free
Eclipse should be very good at core features but also
be a platform for plug-ins. If it's too good at
everything it can't attract commersial initiatives.
If this has worked there should be a better GUI
builder for sale than the one you can get for free.
But I don't know if there is really.I haven't seen any good ones for sale, but I've seen that borland will build the next generation of JBuilder on the Eclipse platform, so I think that they will sell their UI builder as a plugin.

Eclipse Visual Editor-not working-palette no icons, no visual capabilities

Hello,
I installed eclipse recently with the intention of using it to lay out java components in my applications. I have installed GEF, EMF and the visual editor with the exception of the WEP parts, as eclipse said they had invalid licences. I have the problems mentioned in the title and eclipse does not bring up an option to install the WEP components of the visual editor any more. Does anyone know anything about how this could be fixed? Thanks in advance,
Paddy.

Error while importing theme created with Eclipse theme editor

Hi,
I am facing an error when I try to import a theme I created using the Eclipse Theme Editor plug-in. I created a theme and exported it. Then when I try to import it, I get the error that "its.zip was not found in the archive". I check the exported zip file for theme and I see that there is only one zip file inside it "portal.zip". But if I export a theme from the portal, I get three zip files inside the archive - portal.zip, its.zip and ur.zip.
Can't I use the theme I created using the plug-in in portal? Are they meant to be used in some other context? Or is there any setting to be done on the plug-in to make it generate the zip files - its and ur ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Ranjith

Hi,
It is used to brand webdynpro. and its a stand alone tool.. no need of any plug ins....
This is the description I found under eclipse theme editor. its totally related to webdynpro.
SAP presents applications to users in the SAP Enterprise Portal (SAP EP). You can change user interface themes with the "Portal Theme Editor" that is part of the Enterprise System Administration role.
As some customers do not have the version of SAP Enterprise Portal that includes this Theme Editor , this version of the Theme Editor is offered as an unsupported, standalone tool from SDN.
The Eclipse Theme Editor can be used to brand Web Dynpro.
Comments and questions: Please use the Web Dynpro forum. Problems regarding the Eclipse Theme Editor reported via OSS will not be handled. As the tool comes as an unsupported version, bug fixes cannot be guaranteed in a timely fashion.
Release information: The Eclipse Theme Editor will be released for each SAP NetWeaver stack. Please note that you can only use the Theme Editor version compatible with the same version Web Dynpro (for example, the SAP NetWeaver Stack 9 Theme Editor is only compatible with SAP NetWeaver Stack 9 Web Dynpro). When you upgrade Web Dynpro to a higher stack, you must also upgrade the SAP NetWeaver Stack 9 Eclipse Theme Editor and your themes to the SAP NetWeaver stack on which your Web Dynpro applications are running.
here you can find how to edit themes in web dynpro using this eclipse theme editor..

Eclipse Visual Editor - no "Visual Class"

I have installed the recent eclipse and eclipse-ve packages. Eclipse says that the Visual Editor is installed. It says the "Visual Editor" is of version 1.4.0 and that the "Visual Editor Property Sheet" is of version 1.5.0.
As far as I understand, I should now be able to create a new "Visual Class" but this menu option is not appearing. Is there something I'm missing?

Same issue here.

Eclipse Visual Editor bug

Hi everyone,
I'm not sure if it's the right place to ask about eclipse problems, but since it should work on others linux distribution I'm assuming it's a Arch specific bug.
So the story goes like this. I've installed Eclipse 3.2.1 an wanted to have Visual Editor in it. So I went throu the whole installation procedure ( Help -> Software Upgrades -> Find and Install -> Search for new features to install -> new remote server (http://update.eclipse.org/updates/3.0/site.xml) -> Visual Editor SDK 1.1.0.1 && EMF SDK 2.1.2 && GEF 3.1.1 SDK). And when I restarted eclipse there should have been New -> Create a new Java Class using the Visual Editor. But there is no such thing! I can make EMF projects, but there's none Visual Editor.
Where I've made a mistake in an installation process? I'll be glad for a backup. Thanks in advance!

Please download eclipse 3.2 with Callisto. if you are running eclipse without Callisto trust me its a pain to download the visual editor. i have tried it. Google for eclipse Callisto and then download eclipse which comes with Calisto and then download visual editor.
Everything should be fine then.

Eclipse visual editor does not work.

If I try to create a new visual class two error messages pop up:
"IWAV0138E Remote VM terminated too soon. See .log file for trace of output."
"An internal error occurred during: "Create Remote VM for Visual Editor for Java".
IWAV0171E Could not create a socket connection to remote vm. This is often due to your firewall blocking access from your java to do local access."
Here is the full error log: http://pastebin.com/m4c700db3
I have no firewall enabled:
core@c-laptop:~$ sudo iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
I've read that it could possibly happen due to incorrect /etc/hosts file. Here is mine:
core@c-laptop:~$ cat /etc/hosts
# /etc/hosts: static lookup table for host names
127.0.0.1 c-laptop localhost
#<ip-address> <hostname.domain.org> <hostname>
192.168.1.102 n810 n810
192.168.1.101 serv serv
# End of file
Any ideas?

I'm guessing 'c-laptop' is the name of your machine? My line looks different in /etc/hosts, I just added my name to the end and left the original domain:
rob ~ $ cat /etc/hosts
# /etc/hosts: static lookup table for host names
#<ip-address> <hostname.domain.org> <hostname>
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost rob-thinkpad

How to create a WYSIWIG HTML editor

I need to create a WYSIWIG HTML editor and I'm thinking of using Swing.
I realise many have done this before and that there are products already on the market ranging from Coffee Cup to Dreamweaver.
However, this will be for a specific application where my users will need to drop some composite objects on to the web page -- these objects will generate chunks of HTML containing some of my own attributes with a special syntax. These objects might be as simple as a textbox with a label, or something more complex.
So the idea is that the user selects the object they wish to create by clicking a particular icon in a palette. The cursor changes to a cross-hair as the mouse is moved across some sort of canvas pane. The user clicks where they want the top left-hand corner of the object to be (rubber banding not necessary). A dialogue pops up asking for some context-sensitive properties for the object. At this point, the system can work out the HTML object it needs to create, i.e. tags, attributes, etc.
So far the canvas pane has acted as a simple drawing surface, perhaps with a set of grid lines to aid the user in positioning. But at this point, know that we know the HTML object required, I want it to be rendered on the pane as HTML.
Is it possible for a pane to be both a canvas an an HTML renderer like this, so that I can achieve a true WYSIWYG effect ? Does anyone understand what I'm talking about ?! Are there any examples of how I would go about this ?
Thanks

Does anyone understand what I'm Check out JEditorPane and JTextPane for HTML support. You have to do JEditorPane.setEditable(false) to make it render html. It also SUCKS as a web container - no support for style sheets, forms, javascript, etc.
It is definitely possible to add components into or over the JEditorPane to show lines and other things. I'm just not sure what the point of this is.

How to create an eclipse plugin?

Hello!
I'm looking for tutorials, manuals, ebooks about creating my own eclipse plug-ins.
There is no forum category specially dedicated for that so i'm writing my post here...
Thanks.

That information is at the Eclipse site, not here. Why would a Java forum teach you how to use every product that utilizes Java in some form or another?
