Is it possible to add/import 3rd party beans into the VE bean selector?
I have some commercial beans that I've used with VCafe and I would like
to be able to use them within VE.
If this is possible can someone direct me to instructions on how to
achieve this. If it's not possible, are there plans to provide for this
feature in the future?
TIA

syntax must be just right.
The JFC palette above is registered in the org.eclipse.ve.jfc plugin as
following, which mean that when the JRE container is on the build path,
he xmi above will be appended to the palette.
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ve.java.core.contributors">
<palette
container="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER"
categories="palette/javavisualbeanscats.xmi"
loc="last">
</palette>
Plugins can register palette entries.
Note that the .xmi is a text file and is a resource on the jfc plugin....;-)

The simplest way is to just add the jar to the build path of the
project. Then the choose bean will see it and you can select them. The
biggest problem is if there are BeanInfo classes. If there are and they
are in different jars or in different packages you need to tell the user
how to use the BeanInfo path in the project's properties how to find the
beaninfo jar and add the beaninfo classes to search path.

Thanks. That works great. One other question: Is there any way of having
the these 3rd party beans appear in the bean palette?

Now you are getting into a difficult area. :-) We don't have a way yet
of customizing the palette by a user when they contribute the beans
themselves in the project. We only have a way when a contributor
packages the whole shabang (palette, beans, beaninfo, any special ve
code they may want to use to extend the ve) into a plugin.
However, we don't have an up to date doc on this yet. The one we have is
for WSAD 5.1.2 (which is where the VE came from).
