How can I tell whether it's design time or runtime? [message #616906]

If the designer left out a required property of my component, I want to
throw an IllegalStateException at runtime, but of course not at design
time.

My ugly solution was to add a component listener, look at my component's
parents, and see whether any of them is a ve class. If none of my parents
is a VE class, it's runtime, and I check for missing required properties.

This works fine, but it's obviously a hack. Is there a better way?

Thanks,
Eli
