XWT and visual designer problem [message #662503] Wed, 30 March 2011 16:33 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
When i add a new xwt file and want to add a component from the palette to the XWT source view I get a java.lang.NullPointerException, if I type it direct in the editor and run the widget (lets say an button for example) it wil show. It wil not show in design mode only in runtime mode

the software i have installed on a new 4.1 M6 is the following:

Steps to reproduce:

1) Installed fresh copy of 4.1 M6 win32
2) Installed e4 XWT
3) Created a e4 application with the e4 application wizard
4) change perspective to XWT
5) Created a new UI element in my project, Now i see the ui element, xml source, properties and the SWT an jFace palette
6) drag an component from the pallette (button or any other) to the source view

now i get the java.lang.NullPointerReference.

Am i missing some references, or do i need to instal extra features like emf. I think emf is already in the feature package xwt

Hi,

I am having similar problems here. Except when I pull up the XWT Designer, the interface builder never loads. Has anyone had success using these tools with M6?

If so the steps you took to get things working would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

~Chris

AFAIK, the XWT Designer is deprecated, you must/should use the WindowBuilder which has support for XWT, too.
