I get the following error message when I try to use a FormAttachment in
the Visual Editor:
Error trying to set new file into editor.
Reason: java.lang.NullPointerException
This is my code. If I comment out the lines like "data.top = new
FormAttachment(0, 5);" then it renders in the visual editor part. If I
uncomment the lines the error returns. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks.

Hello,
There are some problems because of which the below source cannot be
correctly understood by VE.
(*) Missing codegen annotations
VE models in the graphical side common types which it knows are visual -
like Shell, Button etc. It doesnt care about other Types - like
FormData. To make VE pay attention to such types, there should be a
codegen annotation ( // @jve:decl-index=0: ) in the source where the
bean is instantiated. Ex:
FormData data = new FormData();// @jve:decl-index=0:
This will make VE pay attention to the 'data' variable. The codegen
annotations are added by VE automatically when the instances are created
by it. Manually coded non-modelled beans should have this annotation added.
(*) Resuse of variables
Currently in the source variables are being reused. Ex:
FormData data = new FormData();
..
data = new FormData();
..
This pattern is currently not supported and the defect
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=88763 exists to fix this
problem. Please add yourself on CC to track its progress.
To workaround this problem please rename the second usage of the
variable to be something different so that VE can distinguish clearly
which instance is used where:
FormData data = new FormData();
..
FormData data1 = new FormData();
..
(*) VE not processing field settings correctly.
For some reason VE is not decoding all the expressions where fields of a
bean are being set. In :
1 data.top = new FormAttachment(0, 5);
2 data.left = new FormAttachment(0, 5);
3 data.bottom = new FormAttachment(50, -5);
4 data.right = new FormAttachment(50, 5);
VE is not processing the last three statements because it thinks they
are duplicates of the first statement. I have opened a defect for this (
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=89129 ), please add
yourself on CC to track its progress.
Regards,
Sri.
